Daniel Ballard helped Blackpool return to the Championship for the first time since 2015 following a 2-1 win over Lincoln in the League One play-off final at Wembley.
Neil Critchley's men won five of their last seven matches in League One to secure a place in the play-offs before wins over Oxford United and Lincoln took them back to the second tier of English football.
Ballard, 21, was a key component at the back for Blackpool, playing 28 league games in a defence breached just 37 times in 46 matches this term.
The Tangerines recovered from a poor start to the season - losing five of their opening seven matches - to make an emphatic return to the Championship.
Everyone at Arsenal sends their congratulations to Daniel for his achievements this season.
