Harvey Bardsley signed professional terms with the Seasiders in the summer of 2023.

Impressing following his arrival last season, Bardsley has quickly established himself as one of the bright prospects in the youth system.

The goalkeeper was the hero of the Central League Cup win over Wigan Athletic in 2023, saving the all important penalty in the shootout victory, as Stephen Dobbie's Development Squad picked up silverware at Bloomfield Road.  

Bardsley sustained an injury ahead of the 2023/24 season and is still recovering from that set-back with the first-team squad.
