Bailey Peacock-Farrell
Bailey Peacock-Farrell has completed a loan move to Blackpool, just 12 months after signing for Birmingham City.
The goalkeeper will join up with the League One outfit for the 2025/26 season, where he will work with former Blues boss Steve Bruce.
He does so having fallen down the pecking order at his parent club, following the arrival of James Beadle on loan from Brighton who comes in to challenge last season’s regular starter Ryan Allsop.
Peacock-Farrell joined Blues for an undisclosed fee from Burnley last summer, signing a four-year deal and being installed as the club’s first choice.
However, a series of errors saw him lose his place to Allsop after just seven games and he spent the rest of last season on the bench, albeit playing in the cup competitions and totalling 16 appearances.

Beadle and Allsop played a half each in the first pre-season friendly against Sevilla and Peacock-Farrell will now move to Bloomfield Road where he will challenge new signing Franco Ravizzoli for game-time.
Peacock-Farrell came through the youth set-ups and Middlesbrough and Leeds United before graduating to the Elland Road first team. He moved to Burnley in 2019 but made only 24 appearances before moving to Blues.
Chris Davies has allowed Brandon Khela, Manny Longelo and Ayumu Yokoyama to move on and Peacock-Farrell could be the first of several players who leave on loan.
