Sean Maguire: Move a ‘no-brainer’

Sean Maguire has spoken of his joy at securing a move to Preston, saying the large Irish contingent already at Deepdale meant choosing to join the Championship outfit was a “no-brainer”.

The striker has been in scintillating form this season, netting 19 goals in 20 games to help Cork City surge 18 points clear at the top of the Airtricity League Premier Division.

That form caught the eye of Preston boss Simon Grayson, who swooped for the striker six months after bringing over Dundalk pair Daryl Horgan and Andy Boyle.
