Francois Zoko has signed an initial one-year deal with the Championship club

Blackpool have signed former Stevenage striker Francois Zoko.

The Ivory Coast front man was Boro’s top scorer last season but left the club in the summer.

He initially joined Stevenage on a short-term deal in October last year before extending his stay in January until the end of the season.

The striker scored 11 goals in his first three months at Boro, but his form fizzled out along with Stevenage’s season and he scored just five goals in the last four months of the campaign to end the season with 16 goals.
