Josh Ginnelly Joins Preston North End on a Two-and-a-Half-Year Deal

Sky Bet Championship side Preston North End have today confirmed the signing of now former Walsall winger Josh Ginnelly, who joins the Lilywhites on a two-and-a-half-year deal after the two clubs came to terms on an as-yet undisclosed fee

21-year-old, Coventry born Ginnelly, who made twenty-five first-team appearances since returning to the club last summer, had earned the faith of many Saddlers supporters as he and many of his fellow summer recruits hit the ground running and saw the team defy the bookmakers to sit among the early-season pace-setters.

Josh, a former Saddlers loanee who returned to the club after being released by Burnley at the end of last season, had been training with the North West side over recent weeks and will have already begun to settle in with his new teammates.

Unfortunately all of the early momentum has since subsided and it will be interesting to see how the team performs as some of the star-players have attracted interest from other clubs who are also looking to find form.
