Hibernian interested in loan move for Preston winger Daryl Horgan
Preston North End winger Daryl Horgan is attracting interest from Hibernian.
ALSO READ: Winger Daryl Horgan frustrated by lack of starts for PNEThe Republic of Ireland international struggled for game time under Alex Neil last season with Neil Lennon’s men reportedly looking at taking the 25-year-old to Easter Road on a season-long loan.
Despite Horgan being on the fringes it is understood that as things stand PNE’s preferred option however would be to keep the former Dundalk man at Deepdale for the coming season.
Horgan arrived in England alongside team-mate Andy Boyle in January 2017 on the back of a League of Ireland title win and impressive displays in the Europa League.
Twenty appearances followed before the end of that season but since Neil replaced Simon Grayson he has fallen down the pecking order.
Horgan made only five starts for Preston in the 2017-18 season with just two of those coming in the Championship, against Barnsley and Cardiff over Christmas.
He made a further 18 appearances as a substitute with his solitary league goal coming in the win at Burton Albion in December.
Further competition has arrived this summer in the form of another Republic of Ireland international, Shamrock Rovers’ versatile forward Graham Burke.
But North End would like Horgan to stay and fight for his place.
