PRESTON RUE LOSS OF KING

PRESTON boss Simon Grayson says the loss of Jack King could prove costly in many positions.

The versatile 27-year-old, who will be out for at least two months due to a stress fracture in his foot, scored seven times for North End last year.

“He has played rightback, centre midfield and centre forward in preseason, and he did very well last year for us,” said Grayson.
