Brett Ormerod has left Preston North End by mutual consent.

Interest likely for experienced goalscorer

Brett Ormerod has left Preston North End by mutual consent. The striker joined PNE in 2006, enjoying a bright start with the club, before falling out of favour following the appointment of manager Alan Irvine. Subsequently, the 32-year-old spent the past year on loan at Nottingham Forest and Oldham Athletic before his eventual release from the Lancashire club. Shrewsbury have previously been linked with a move for Ormerod, but for now, the future of the former Southampton man is unclear.
