Blackpool's on-loan midfielder Joe Martin will have a successful career, according to his new coach.

The 19-year-old, who has played for England Under-17s, is the son of West Ham legend Alvin Martin and has moved from Spurs until the end of the season.

Tangerines first-team coach Steve Thompson said: "He's got plenty of energy and an eye for a goal, I think he can be an asset for us.

"He's got a cultured left foot and he's joined us from a quality club."

He took his goal really well and he can play either on the left hand side or in the centre of midfield Blackpool coach Steve Thompson

Martin is in line to make his first-team debut against West Bromwich on Tuesday after scoring for the reserves against Bury on Wednesday.

Thompson said: "It was a difficult surface but he affected the game really well.

"He took his goal really well and he can play either on the left-hand side or in the centre of midfield and I think he can give Simon [Grayson] something to think about between now and the end of the season."
