Derby County striker Kwame Thomas has joined Sky Bet League 1 side Blackpool on loan until January 2016.

The England Under 20 international completed the formalities of his temporary switch to Bloomfield Road this afternoon.

Thomas, who is 20 in September, is a graduate of Derby’s Academy and he made five substitute appearances at first-team level last season, making his professional debut against Leeds United in November 2014.

He also made five appearances during a month-long loan spell at Notts County, then in League 1, last term before returning to the iPro Stadium.

Blackpool were relegated from the Championship last season but are under new management ahead of the 2015/16 season, after appointing Neil McDonald as their new manager in June.
