The Deal<\/h3>\n

Blackpool have announced via their website they had signed the defender. Howe arrives on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee.<\/p>\n

Howe has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the option of a further year. He arrives ready to compete in League One and make a positive impression at Blackpool.<\/p>\n

Simon Grayson continues to strengthen his squad with Blackpool languishing in mid-table in League One. \u00a0Howe becomes Blackpool\u2019s eighth recruit and he is ready to show what he can do.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old has been a regular with the Reading development side and even made two appearances against Blackpool in the FA Cup. He did make the breakthrough at Reading making six senior appearances including five this campaign.<\/p>\n

Howe could make his debut against Oxford United tomorrow.<\/p>\n

What Was Said<\/h3>\n

Speaking to the Blackpool website about his move, Howe said<\/a>: \u201cI played against Blackpool twice and I kind of know what they\u2019re about, which is obviously good for me to come here and try and bring my own style into the game. I\u2019m glad to be here and can\u2019t wait to get going.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manager Simon Grayson added<\/a>: \u201cTeddy is a player who impressed us in the two matches we played against Reading. He\u2019s full of enthusiasm, energy and drive and we\u2019re looking forward to working with him. He\u2019s another player who offers different qualities to what we have here already.\u201d<\/p>\n
