Preston North End

Tom Wilkinson has only recently signed for PNE via grassroots but has adapted very quickly.

He started in a much-rotated line-up for the U19s in a derby against Blackpool towards the end of the 2021/22 season and impressed with his aerial presence and competence on the ball despite being only 15.

His towering height makes him effective in both penalty areas and he will be hoping to establish himself as a more of a regular during his second season as a scholar, after limited appearances in the first.
