Posted on March 28, 2011 in Millwall

Teenage full-back Conor McLaughlin has signed a two-and-a-half year professional contract with Preston.

The 18-year-old has been rewarded for his form for the Deepdale club’s reserves and youth team.

McLaughlin, a Northern Ireland Under-20 international, told the club website: “The first year I’ll have to work hard and then push on in my second year.

“I think I can improve my defending and my attacking side and if I put them together hopefully I’ll get my chance.”
