Ryan Lowe will turn to Ben Whiteman to be Preston North End’s leader on the pitch next season.
The 28-year-old, who has been with the Lilywhites since January 2021, is seen as the natural successor to Alan Browne, who’s time at the club has come to an end. North End announced on Monday that Browne would be departing Deepdale after a decade of service. An offer of a new three-year deal was declined by the Irishman, who is now free to join another club as a free agent following the expiry of his Preston contract.
The midfielder, who has captained North End in Browne’s absence before, skippered Doncaster Rovers before his move to Deepdale and has the full respect of the North End first-team set-up following 141 appearances for the club. An intelligent footballer who possesses plenty of attacking attributes, knows how to dictate the tempo of a game and needs no introduction to his defensive responsibilities, Whiteman is viewed as someone who can lead by example on the pitch - and off it.
