The highly rated striker currently at Exeter City has an alleged release clause of £750,000 which Preston have agreed to meet. Preston were short of centre forwards even before the current injury crisis and Stockley has been linked with the club for a while.
His former teammate Jordan Storey has recently impressed at the back and looks like he could make the step up. Stockley would certainly help share the workload for the frontman who are overrun at the moment.
