Manchester City winger Brandon Barker joins Preston North End on loan

Manchester City winger Brandon Barker will be spending the 2018-19 season in the Championship after joining Preston North End on loan.

Manchester City winger Brandon Barker has joined Championship side Preston North End on a season-long loan.

The 21-year-old has come through Man City's academy and is capped by England at Under-18, Under-19 and Under-20 level.

Barker spent the 2016-17 season with NAC Breda and had a successful spell on loan north of the border last season, playing 30 times for Scottish Premiership side Hibernian.

"I am delighted to get the deal done, as soon as it came up I was buzzing," the youngster told Preston's official website. "I have had a couple of successful loan spells and I am looking to build on that. Last year in Scotland I did okay and hopefully this year is the same.

"I hope I can show what I do in the games. Hopefully I can help the team as much as I can, work hard and try and give the fans what they want. I spoke to the manager and he did a good job of selling the club to me. He is a manager I think I can improve under; he has a young squad with some older faces and I can't wait to get going."

Barker is currently on the fourth loan spell of his career, his first being a short stay with Rotherham United in 2015.
