Preston sign Montenegro defender Vukcevic

Andrija Vukcevic has won 10 caps for Montenegro since making his debut in 2022

Andrija Vukcevic has joined Preston North End on a three-year deal after impressing during pre-season friendlies.

The 28-year-old Montenegro left-back played against Getafe and Tranmere Rovers after linking up with the Lilywhites less than two weeks ago.

Vukcevic, an international team-mate of Preston striker Milutin Osmajic, began his career with home-town club Buducnost, with whom he played Europa League football.

He has since had a nomadic career, playing for Sevilla's B team in Spain, Spartak Subotica in Serbia, Waasland-Beveren in Belgium, Rijeka in Croatia, Juarez in Mexico and spent last season on loan at Cartagena in Spain.

Prston manager Paul Heckingbottom told the club website: "We've been really happy with Andy since he joined us out in Spain. He has a great attitude in training, gives his all every day, and he's shown what he can do in the friendlies he's played in.

"He gives us real pace and power down the left-hand side of the pitch and adds to our options in that area."
