Preston North End are delighted to confirm Robbie Brady has signed a new deal with the club.

The Republic of Ireland international has extended his stay at Deepdale by at least 12 months, with his contract also including the option of an additional year.

Robbie first joined North End in July 2022 and has gone on to make 100 appearances for the Lilywhites over the past three campaigns.

Robbie said: “I’m absolutely delighted. I’ve really enjoyed my time here so far and I’m looking forward to another season ahead.

“The manager’s been honest with me since the minute he came in and I think we've got on since. It's been brilliant for me to be able to go back and forward with the manager like that.

“I know he has trust in me and from chats I've had with him he gives me the confidence that I need to be able to perform. Like I said, I'm looking forward to another year of working with all involved.”

The 33-year-old arrived at Deepdale with a wealth of experience at the highest level, having played more than 150 times in the Premier League, and his cap tally for Republic of Ireland now stands at 70.

Robbie’s enjoyed some big moments during his time with PNE, notably his stunning free-kick against former side Burnley in the Emirates FA Cup fifth round which was voted as the club’s Goal of the Season.

Manager Paul Heckingbottom said: “Getting Robbie signed up for next season is great news for us.

“I think his quality’s there for all to see. He’s got a great delivery with his left foot, he’s a player who can do a number of different jobs for us as we saw last season, and he’s got real fight in his game.

“He’s someone who can really impact matches. He’s a big part of things behind the scenes, too, so we’re really pleased he’ll be here again next season.”
