Striker pens three-year deal

He then spent two-and-a-half years at Bristol City before returning to Dean Court and helping the Dorest outfit reach the Premier League for the first time in their history.

Keeper pens three-year deal with Blues

Pompey have signed goalkeeper Luke McGee from Tottenham for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old has penned a three-year deal at Fratton Park, having spent the majority of last season on loan at fellow League One side Peterborough.

Assistant manager Joe Gallen said: “We’re very pleased to secure the signing of Luke. He’s come through Tottenham’s academy system and they’ve produced a lot of good players.

“He went on loan to Peterborough last season and picked up the Players’ Player of the Season award.

“And he’s also someone that Kenny knows about from his time at Tottenham. He was really impressed with him.

“It’s great that we’ve been able to bring in a goalkeeper who’s good enough now and is going to improve in the future.”

McGee made 45 appearances for Peterborough last season and appeared for Tottenham in front of 70,000 fans in a friendly against AC Milan in 2015.

Loan signing targets successful season for Pompey

He helped Huddersfield reach the Premier League last season.

Now Tareiq Holmes-Dennis is looking forward to aiding Pompey in their first campaign back in League One.

The left-back has joined the Blues on a season-long loan deal from the West Yorkshire outfit.

And he is excited by the opportunity of being part of another successful season on the south coast.

Holmes-Dennis said: “Huddersfield are making a few signings, so it’s right that I go out on loan and come to a good club.

“I remember Pompey being in the Premier League when I was younger, so it’s great for me to be at a place like this.

“Last season was amazing because nobody expected us to do as well as we did. It was unbelievable to be involved in that.

“Now this is another challenge for me and I need to keep pushing myself to get this club to where it needs to be.

“There are no limits to what can be achieved. It was a good season last time and there’s no reason why it can’t be the same again.”

Holmes-Dennis was on loan at Plymouth for their 2-1 defeat at Fratton Park in April 2015 and it was an experience he remembers well.

He said: “I saw how well the club did last season and I played against them a few years ago, so I know how amazing the fans are.

“It really stuck in my mind just how good the support was and how many there were for a game in League Two.

“They get behind the team, so playing in front of them – with them behind me – will be unreal.”

Defender becomes Jackett’s first Pompey signing

Pompey have signed defender Nathan Thompson on a two-year deal.

The 26-year-old will officially become a Blues player on July 1 when his contract with Swindon expires.

Assistant manager Joe Gallen said: “It’s nice to get the first signing over the line and we’ve brought in a very talented and experienced League One performer.

“We’ve got every confidence in Nathan that he’s going to do extremely well for Pompey.

“He’s a good ball player and is an excellent talker and motivator – and he can play in a number of positions.”

Thompson progressed through the ranks at the County Ground and made 187 appearances for the Robins.

He was awarded his first professional contract in 2009, while his senior debut arrived in a victory over Torquay the following year.

Thompson helped Swindon secure the League Two title in 2012 and skippered them to the League One play-off final in 2015.

He can play at right-back or in the centre of defence, while he is also comfortable in a midfield role.
