Prior to the weekend it was confirmed by Preston that Kevin O’Connor had been allowed to join Fleetwood on loan until the end of the season. The Irishman has had a difficult time at Deepdale since joining in the summer.
Greg Cunningham and Josh Earl are now both back to full fitness so will take priority in the left back slot. It is hoped that O’Connor can get some invaluable experience at League One level over the next few months.
