3 YEAR DEAL FOR CONOR

Posted on March 28, 2011 in Millwall

Preston defender Conor McLaughlin has signed a one-year contract extension keeping the Northern Ireland U21 international at Deepdale until 2013.

The 19-year-old told the club website: “I was quite surprised because I’m only a year into my current contract.

“I was just getting my head down and continuing to work hard.”

McLaughlin made his first-team debut as a substitute against Hull City last month. The extended deal includes an option for a further year.

He signed a two-and-a-half-year deal in January.
