Tuesday 7 August 2018 22:06, UK
Manchester City winger Brandon Barker has joined Sky Bet Championship side Preston on a season-long loan.
The 21-year-old came through the ranks at the reigning Premier League champions and has been capped by England at U18, U19 and U20 levels.
He spent the 2016-17 season in the Netherlands with NAC Breda and had a successful spell on loan in Scotland last season, playing 30 times for Premiership side Hibernian.
Barker told Preston's official website: "I am delighted to get the deal done, as soon as it came up I was buzzing.
"I have had a couple of successful loan spells and I am looking to build on that. Last year in Scotland I did okay and hopefully this year is the same.
