Blackpool defender Jordan Gabriel was linked with a move away from Bloomfield Road in the summer - but states it was something left for the club to deal with.
The 26-year-old, who made the permanent move to the Fylde Coast from Nottingham Forest in 2021, was reportedly attracting interest from both Lincoln City and Oxford United, but ultimately remained with the Seasiders.
Gabriel admits he experienced a difficult time during pre-season away from the pitch, after losing members of his family.
The fullback also experienced injury problems, which disrupted the final weeks of his preparation for the 2024/25 campaign, causing him to miss the opening few games.
