Preston North End

Oliver Lombard will provide competition to Jimmy Corcoran for the youth team’s No.1 shirt in the 2018/19 season.

The Chorley-born goalkeeper will be entering into the first of his two years as a scholar, having previously appeared in youth team matchday squads while still a schoolboy.

Standing at 6’2”, Ollie is highly regarded by the Academy coaching staff, having signed at U15 level through the club’s goalkeeper development centre. He is also a keen cricketer and a former pupil of Balshaw’s Church of England High School in Leyland.
