Preston North End can confirm that Robbie Brady and Will Keane will leave the club upon the expiry of their contracts.
Robbie Brady will depart North End after making 105 appearances for the club, having initially joined in July 2022 following his departure from AFC Bournemouth.
Scorer of an iconic free-kick against Burnley during the FA Cup run to the quarter-finals in 2024/25, the experienced campaigner was limited to just five appearances this term, but ended the season back on the pitch, playing in the final three games.
Will Keane also leaves PR1 after spending the second half of the 2025/26 season on loan at Reading in Sky Bet League One. The 33-year-old forward scored 18 goals in 73 appearances as a permanent PNE player having previously enjoyed a loan spell at Deepdale a decade ago and was the club's top scorer during the 2023/24 campaign.
Jamal Lewis’ short stay with North End comes to an end after arriving at the club in October – the Northern Ireland international made 15 appearances as a Lilywhite.
Three academy graduates will also leave this summer, with James Pradic, Noah Mawene and Felipe Rodriguez-Gentile departing the club. The trio were all involved in and around the first team picture during the past two seasons, with Mawene making nine senior appearances for North End.
Dai Cornell is out of contract at the end of June, but subject to the conclusion of discussions, he may remain with the club for a further year.
Daniel Jebbison, Alfie Devine, Lewis Dobbin and Miloš Luković’s loan agreements will come to an end next month and they will return to their parent clubs. We’d like to place on record our thanks and best wishes to them all, along with everyone else leaving the club this summer.
All other first team players remain under contract for the 2026/27 season.

Shouldn't NE be introducing a young goalie for further development? What is it with NE? They have young players who seem to do well but are released. . I suppose NE cannot afford the increased cost when they graduate.
