Preston North End cancel Liam Grimshaw's contract

Preston North End have cancelled the contract of Manchester United academy product Liam Grimshaw by mutual consent.

The 22-year-old has spent the past 19 months at Deepdale, making just a handful of appearances during that time.

Grimshaw, who also spent a short spell on loan with Chesterfield earlier this year, is now on the lookout for a new club after being released by North End.

A statement on the Lilywhites' official website read: "PNE would like to thank [Liam] for his efforts during his time at Deepdale and wish him the very best in his future."

Grimshaw was with United for 11 years as a youngster before departing for PNE in 2016, via a loan spell in Scottish football with Motherwell.
