CONOR KEEN ON LOAN MOVE

Posted on March 28, 2011 in Millwall

Preston North End youngster Conor McLaughlin would be keen on a loan move in the New Year after signing a new contract at Deepdale.

McLaughlin has agreed a one-year extension to be tied to the Championship club until 2013 and there is also the option of a further 12 months.

The full-back had only signed his previous deal in January and made his debut for Darren Ferguson’s side against Hull City last month.

The 19-year-old is eager to experience more first-team football and is open to a loan move when the transfer window reopens.

“I have been knocking on the door and have been on the bench a few times, after this hopefully I will be able to get another appearance or two or go out on loan to build up some first-team experience,” McLaughlin told the club’s official website.

“At the moment, I need to toughen myself up so playing a few games for another club in the Football League may help me.”
