Preston North End

Finlay Cross-Adair was a consistent member of PNE U19s’ successful 2021/22 campaign.

The hard-working centre forward, who also occasionally starred on the wing, weighed in with eight goals, the most memorable of which was undoubtedly a well-taken strike in the EFL Youth Alliance Cup final to restore North End’s lead over Luton.

Cross-Adair is a local lad – and a huge PNE fan – who has worked his way through the North End youth ranks and now, as the leading striker in Nick Harrison’s side, will be trying to capture first team manager Ryan Lowe’s interest during the 2022/23 season.
