Preston North End are set to release six players from their first team squad as the season ends.

The club have already confirmed those players will not be receiving new contract offers.

It comes as no surprise, as five of them were out on loan for most of the season.

One of the players is Andy Boyle, who impressed on loan at Dundee and Ross County in Scotland.

The players being released include Boyle, Ben Pringle, Marnick Vermijl, Michael Howard, Tommy Spurr and Tom Stead.

The club confirmed those moves through their official Twitter account.
