Daryl Horgan forced to play waiting game

With the changing of the Preston managerial guard which has seen Alex Neil replace Simon Grayson, game time at Deepdale has proved harder to come by for Daryl Horgan this season.

Formerly the hottest property in the League of Ireland, Horgan understands that patience is a virtue in football but, he concedes, knowing that and implementing it are two different things.

“Everyone says you have to be patient and I am giving the same advice to everyone else but when it’s yourself you just want to play,” he says.
