Free agent Gary Taylor-Fletcher joins Leicester City

Former Blackpool striker Gary Taylor-Fletcher has signed for their Championship rivals Leicester City, subject to Football League and FA clearance.

The 32-year-old forward has been without a club since he left the Tangerines, with whom he played in the Premier League during his six-season spell at Bloomfield Road.

Due to his being a free agent, Taylor-Fletcher is allowed to join a new team outside of the transfer window, and he has accepted a one-year contract offer from the Foxes.

The former Huddersfield Town striker could make his debut for Leicester, who are second in the table following seven league games, against his ex-employers Blackpool on Saturday.

Taylor-Fletcher scored 39 goals in 237 appearances for the Seasiders.
