Lee Hendrie has joined Blackpool on loan and goes straight into their squad for the Lancashire derby with Preston North End.

The midfielder, 31, has seen his chances at Bramall Lane limited and has agreed the temporary move to Bloomfield Road.

The former England man has played twice in the Carling Cup this season and has made just one substitute appearance in the Championship, coming on against Norwich City.

He will remain with the Seasiders until 1st January.
