Preston North End

Mikey O’Neil is the longest serving Academy player of all of the new crop of first year scholars for the 2020/21 season.

Liverpool-born Mikey is regarded as a very creative player by the Academy staff, who will look to utilise him mainly in the No.10 position but have the option of playing him as a No.9 too.

The attacker has vast experience in futsal so despite his height, he is very good technically and comfortable with the ball at his feet.
