Blackpool boss Simon Grayson has bolstered his squad by signing striker Grant Holt on loan from Nottingham Forest until the end of the season.

The 26-year-old former Sheffield Wednesday and Rochdale frontman has only scored three goals for Forest this season, but has been handed a chance to impress in the Championship.

Holt told his new club's official website: "I'm looking forward to the opportunity of playing at this level and trying to show what I can do.

"I have a manager who has decided to bring me in and that shows that he's got a bit of faith in me. I haven't got that at Forest at the minute.

"Obviously he thinks I can bring something different and, obviously, if it helps Blackpool then that's great and if it helps myself, that's even better."
