Preston defender Hughes extends deal

Preston North End defender Andrew Hughes has extended his contract until the end of next season.

The 32-year-old, whose previous deal was due to finish at the end of the current campaign, has made 226 league appearances for the Championship side since joining from Peterborough in June 2018.

"We're happy to tie down Hughesy for another year because he's an important part of the team," boss Paul Heckingbottom told the club website.

"He offers us some flexibility and I think over the years he's really established himself as a Championship defender
