Preston North End goalkeeper Andy Lonergan has signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract with the Championship outfit.

The homegrown stopper, 25, has penned a contract extension which could keep him at the club until the summer of 2013.

Lonergan made his North End debut more than nine years ago as a 16-year-old at Coventry's Highfield Road.

He has since become one of Preston's most consistent performers and was last season named the club's Players' Player of the Year.
