Blackpool have landed promising West Bromwich Albion defender James Hurst on a season-long youth loan.
The 19-year-old right-back caught the eye for the Baggies with a number of first-team appearances in the Carling Cup, Premier League and FA Cup last year, and was rewarded with a new-and-improved deal in January.
Hurst initially came through the ranks at the Hawthorns but declined to sign a professional deal in 2008, opting to join FA Cup winners Portsmouth, who beat Arsenal, Manchester United and Aston Villa to his signature.
He never made a first team appearance at Fratton Park, but did have a loan spell at Icelandic side ÍBV during the Summer of 2010. He re-signed for WBA on a two-year deal in September 2010 after Portsmouth's relegation from the Premier League.
Under the terms of the youth loan the Baggies can recall the full-back at any time.
