The Seasiders put in a sell-on clause for the midfielder when he left Bloomfield Road to join the Tykes in July 2017, reports the Blackpool Gazette.PNE have paid Barnsley an undisclosed seven-figure fee for the 24-year-old who could make his Lilywhites debut against Swansea at Deepdale on Saturday.

The percentage of the sell-on clause has not been confirmed and would most likely apply to any profit the Oakwell club made on a player they paid a reported £750,000 for.

His final appearance for the club came at Wembley, when he scored and assisted in Pool's 2-1 League Two play-off final win against Exeter City.

Having been cup tied for the FA Cup defeat to Doncaster Rovers, Potts will come into Alex Neil’s thinking for the first time this weekend alongside fellow new signings Jayden Stockley and Josh Ginnelly.
