Blackpool have been allowed to sign Manchester City's teenage shot-stopper Joe Hart on an emergency loan deal after a goalkeeping crisis at Bloomfield Road.

The move is initially for a week after Seasiders keepers Paul Rachubka and Rhys Evans picked up injuries.

Hart kept a clean sheet on his debut as Blackpool won 2-0 at Huddersfield Town on Easter Monday, as Paul Grayson's side maintained their push for a play-off place.

The 19-year-old has made one first-team start for City, in this season's goalless draw with Sheffield United in the Premiership, since his move from Shrewsbury Town last summer.
