Blackpool confirm the signing of highly-rated Nottingham Forest right-back on season-long loan deal

The 22-year-old makes the move to Bloomfield Road having signed a fresh four-year deal with the Championship outfit.

Gabriel, who is described as a fast and tricky full-back, becomes Blackpool’s 13th signing of the summer.

The defender, who will wear the number two shirt, is eligible for Saturday's game against Lincoln City.

"I'm pleased to have signed for Blackpool and can't wait to get started,” Gabriel said of his move.

"It's a great club going in a good direction and I believe it's the right time to join.

"I feel ready to make the step up and believe I can bring a lot to the team this season. I'm looking forward to getting started."
