3 soon-to-be free agents that Preston North End should consider this summer

There could be a massive squad overhaul at Preston this summer, with new boss Ryan Lowe no doubt desperate to get stuck into the squad and put his own mark on it.

With at least 14 players set to be out of contract too – including some first-team names – he will need to bring in some more bodies if most of those names do depart.

It’s well documented though that North End are not blessed with massive riches and wealth. Having never been in the Premier League either, they have never been given any kind of parachute payment like others in the division.

That could mean Lowe needs to look for more bargains and potentially some of the out of contract players too. With that in mind then, here are three names he could consider moves for.

Adam Davies – Sheffield United – GK

One area of the field that Preston North End will certainly need to look at restocking in is in goal.

With Daniel Iversen only on loan, Declan Rudd retired and Connor Ripley and Matthew Hudson out of contract, there is a very real possibility that the club might not have ANY shot-stoppers on their books come the summer.

That means they’ll need to look at potential first-team options and back-ups and one player who may be available on a free and could do a job is Adam Davies.

He would fit the bill as experienced at this level and capable of doing a job in goal, even if just on a temporary basis until another more prominent keeper is brought in.

The 29-year-old only joined current club Sheffield United in January and has the option to extend his deal when the campaign is done. If the Blades are promoted though or decide to seek out better options, then the Lilywhites could pounce.

Davies has so far played in 114 Championship games for Stoke and Barnsley and
