Following the transfer departure of a former Derby County and Huddersfield Town player, the Preston North End manager made an admission.

Heckingbottom told the Lancashire Post, “He will be missed, yes.” “I will miss him.” He’s been excellent. I obviously didn’t want to reveal too much earlier (it was confirmed), but it’s true that he and his family wanted to seize the opportunity.

He was adamant about staying, you know, family, when I spoke with him a few weeks ago. At the same time, he stated that he had always desired to do it in America. Yes, we weren’t going to get in his way when his family’s priorities changed and they all wanted to go and seize the chance. He will be missed, as I mentioned. They were glad to take him now, but we will miss him till the end of the season. I wanted him to complete his rehabilitation there, heal from his accident, and give his family some time to adjust. Therefore, we do wish him well.
