Episode 43 27th June 2018 - a podcast by Preston North End

Ahead of the start of pre-season, this week’s official PNE club podcast focuses in on the beginnings of the new season.

With the pre-season schedule confirmed we hear from manager Alex Neil on the importance of setting the tone in preparation for the new campaign.

Former PNE defender and current Northwich Victoria manager Steve Wilkes shares his views on the Lilywhites as well as how vital preparations are leading into the start of a league season.

New signings Andrew Hughes and Graham Burke also feature, with Burke talking exclusively to the official PNE club podcast about how he’s adapting to life in Lancashire following his move from Shamrock Rovers.

Fellow Irishman Sean Maguire speaks about his own personal targets for the upcoming season, as well as what Burke can bring to the side having played alongside him for the Republic of Ireland.

All that plus Assistant Sports Scientist Luke Hemmings opens up about his gruelling Prostate Cancer UK event having cycled from John O’Groats to Land’s End before running 14 marathons in as many days across the country to Dover.
