Odel Offiah has completed a permanent move to Championship club Preston North End, for undisclosed terms. Technical director David Weir said, “Odel is a great professional and this move to Preston gives him a great opportunity to play regular football at Championship level.

“He’s been with us the past eight years, and it’s credit to both Odel and our academy staff that he has such a good opportunity. We wish Odel all the best for the future and thank him for his efforts during his time with us.” Offiah joined the club’s academy in 2017 and went on to make ten senior appearances for Albion, including six in the Premier League. He spent last season on loan with League One Blackpool and the first half of the 2023/24 campaign at Hearts. The defender made 44 appearances for Blackpool and nine for the Scottish club.
