Chris Eagles pens short-term Blackpool deal until January

Chris Eagles puts pen to paper on a short-term contract with Championship strugglers Blackpool.

Winger Chris Eagles has signed a short-term contract with Championship strugglers Blackpool.

The former Manchester United man, who turns 29 tomorrow, will stay with the Lancashire club until January 18.

It emerged yesterday that he had been training with the Seasiders after his summer release by Bolton Wanderers.

"I've got to do what I love to do best, and that is to excite the crowd, score and create," Eagles told Blackpool's website. "What I've seen of the club and staff so far has been brilliant."

He will wear the number 12 shirt for Lee Clark's side and his first game could incidentally be against former club Bolton on Saturday.

Millwall also courted Eagles in September but decided against offering him a contract.
