Preston have offered a new deal to captain Alan Browne.

The 29-year-old Irish midfielder joined the Lilywhites from Cork City in January 2014 and has made 374 league appearances.

Midfielder Lewis Leigh, 20, has also been offered a new contract, while veteran striker Ched Evans, 35, has been offered a player-coach role.

Defender Greg Cunningham, 33, and midfielder Ben Woodburn, 24, have both been released.

Cunningham had two spells with the club, either side of three years at Cardiff City, and made a total of 184 appearances for the club.

Woodburn joined from Liverpool in July 2022 but made just 13 league starts in his 63 appearances.
