Preston have confirmed that forward Tom Barkhuizen has signed a new three-year deal with the club.

The 26-year-old has established himself as a vital part of Alex Neil's side, scoring 14 league goals over the past two seasons and impressing with his pace and ability to beat players.

Therefore, tying down his long-term future was a priority for North End and they announced the new deal on their official site this afternoon.

And, the former Morecambe man revealed that working under Neil was a major factor in his decision.

"You can’t put a price on a manager who trusts you. We have a really good relationship and when he signed his new contract a few months ago it partly made up my mind that I really wanted to stay."

As you would expect, this news has gone down really well with fans of the Championship side, who are excited about what next season can bring - with Barkhuizen likely to star.
