Former Preston North End, Burnley and Swansea City man seals transfer to Azerbaijan top flight
He was signed by PNE back in the summer of 2019
Former Preston North End winger Josh Ginnelly has made the move to Azerbaijan.
Following a period of free agency, the 28-year-old has signed an 18 month contract - with option - at top flight side Turan Tovuz. Ginnelly was released by Swansea City in the summer after an injury-hit two years in Wales.
He will now ply his trade in the Azerbaijan Premier League, for a club sitting third in the table after 16 games. The Tovuz City Stadium has a capacity of 6,800 and the club’s one title win came in 1994/95.
It is the first time Ginnelly has played outside of the UK, having previously represented Shrewsbury, Burnley, Altrincham, Lincoln, Tranmere, Walsall, Bristol Rovers and Hearts - as well as PNE and Swansea.
Preston signed the former Aston Villa youth product in the summer of 2019, for an undisclosed fee from Walsall. He went on to feature nine times for North End, with his loan spell at Hearts resulting in a permanent transfer to the Scottish side.
