Blackpool snap up Hills and Flynn

[Aussie Bee]

Blackpool have signed defender John Hills from Sheffield Wednesday and Gillingham midfielder Michael Flynn.

Both players have joined on free transfers and agreed 12-month deals with the option for a further year.

For Blackpool-born Hills, 29, it means a third spell at Bloomfield Road, while Flynn also had a previous stint on loan with the Seasiders from Wigan.

The 26-year-old went on to join the Gills and play over 100 games before rejecting a new deal this summer.

Flynn captained the Gills last season and was their top scorer, but recently turned down what the club said was their final offer.
