So why give him a contract then in the first place?

Because you need a squad of players in case you pick up key injuries. Neil obviously think he has better options in the positions Dean plays but wants him in case we get in trouble.

His outings at Blackpool can only make him a better player and he'll benefit greatly rather than just turning out in our reserve grade every week. He's playing in games that will test him far better which will serve as an indicator as how he'll go when he does get game time.

Agree entirely, the loan to Blackpool will benefit Blackpool, Leigh and above all....Dean. As a 21yr old its all about establishing yourself and seeking that all important "first team" shirt, Blackpool are giving Dean this opportunity, however its still upto Dean to take it with both hands.
