Irish international joins Championship outfit Preston North End

Brady, who made seven appearances for Bournemouth last season, joins the Lilywhites after a successful trial.

The 30-year-old Dubliner said: “I’m delighted to get something done and I’m just excited and really looking forward to getting going and hitting the ground running.

“It’s been excellent coming into a good group. The manager phoned me a couple of weeks ago and I’ve really enjoyed it since I’ve come in.

“The lads have all been more than welcoming. The people around the place are all friendly and it made me feel comfortable, so I’m delighted to be here and I’m looking forward to a good season ahead.”
