Preston sign Forest's Bowler on loan

Josh Bowler made 38 league appearances during a loan spell with Cardiff City last season

Preston North End have signed winger Josh Bowler on a season-long loan from Premier League side Nottingham Forest.

The 25-year-old joined Forest in 2022 and is yet to make a first-team appearance for the club.

He spent last season on loan with Cardiff City, making 39 appearances for the Bluebirds in all competitions.

“I’m very happy. I’m looking forward to getting started and playing football again and enjoying it," he told Preston's website.

“After speaking to the manager about how he wants to play and what his plan is for me, it was really good and it was something I was looking forward to.

“It’s obviously going to be a little bit different to what the fans are used to seeing but it’s going to be exciting because it’s a forward-thinking, aggressive style of play which I’m ready to get playing."
