‘Deserves first team football’ – Many Preston North End fans react to fresh player agreement
Preston striker Josh Harrop has been loaned out to League One side Ipswich Town.
Despite the Whites’ struggles in the Championship this season, Harrop has been restricted to a limited amount of appearances – with his only league start coming in the defeat to Birmingham City on Halloween.
All together, the former Manchester United frontman has featured just eight times in all competitions and will spend the remainder of the campaign at Portman Road in order to enhance his chances of more regular first-team opportunities.

Harrop was a regular at Deepdale last season, but has been pushed further down the pecking order this term, and moves to Ipswich in an attempt to boost their promotion push following some tricky results for Paul Lambert’s men in recent months.
Preston have already been busy in the January window, adding the likes of Jayson Molumby, Ched Evans and goalkeeper Daniel Iversen, which has paved the way for Harrop to leave on loan.
However, it’s a decision that has led to an angry response from the Deepdale faithful on Twitter:
How we’ve let him go but keep Potts is beyond me

Shocking decision we lack creativity in midfield. Imagine if he got the chances maguire got I’m sure he’d find form and massively improve the team.
