The winger arrives as Blackpool\u2019s fourth addition in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n<h2>Blackpool Sign Connor Ronan On Loan from Wolves<\/h2>\n<h3>The Deal<\/h3>\n<p>Ronan arrives as Blackpool\u2019s second attacking signing in the last two days after Gary Madine re-joined the club on Thursday. Simon Grayson has set his sights on attacking reinforcements in a bid to get Blackpool into the Championship.<\/p>\n<p>Ronan is used to pressures of League One having made a combined 32 appearances for Portsmouth and Walsall at this level. The Republic of Ireland U21international has made just 13 appearances for parent club Wolves.<\/p>\n<p>Ronan brings pace, creativity and an eye for goal. Simon Grayson is targeting more creativity in his side for the likes of Gary Madine, Joe Nuttall and Armand Gnanduillet.<\/p>\n<p>The Tangerines dipped in the promotion race in weeks and Grayson is hoping Ronan can make the necessary impact to get Blackpool closer to the top six.<\/p>\n<p>Ronan\u2019s most recent loan spell was with Slovakian side DAC Dunjska Streda.<\/p>\n<p>Blackpool\u2019s game against Lincoln may come too soon for the Wolves loanee. He is likely to make his debut against either Tranmere Rovers or Wycombe Wanderers.<\/p>\n<h3>What Was Said<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackpoolfc.co.uk\/news\/2020\/january\/loan-deal-agreed-for-wolves-man\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Blackpool website<\/a> about his move, Connor Ronan said: \u201cI like to get on the ball and try and make things happen. I\u2019ll take risks in the opposite half, try and get a few assists and chip in with a few goals. All in all, I just want to help the team wherever I can and try and help the team get back to where it belongs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manager Simon Grayson added: \u201cConnor\u2019s an exciting player and the type of player that we\u2019ve been missing this season. A lot of people speak highly about him and he\u2019s had some good experience out in Slovakia, as well as internationally for Ireland at under-21 level. We\u2019re looking for him to get on the ball, pick a pass and add something different to the squad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"fcuFPIXHTelDLSdhbnAUVw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1184173990\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'fcuFPIXHTelDLSdhbnAUVw',sig:'9jWmO2NV3P7WLhH0aqnZiRiA-NtYYGD3sfSO6OAsTpo=',w:'594px',h:'400px',items:'1184173990',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blackpool have signed Wolverhampton Wanderers attacker Connor Ronan on loan for the rest of the season.
