Preston North End midfielder Bailey Wright has signed a two-year contract extension with the Championship club until 2017.

The 23-year-old Australia international has made nearly 150 appearances for the Lilywhites since 2009.

Wright scored one goal in 32 games last season as Preston gained promotion to the second tier of English football.

"I'm delighted to extend my time here," he told the club's official website. "I'm sure there will still be some new faces to come but I'm delighted with how things are going and looking forward to the season ahead."

Preston start their Championship campaign at home to Middlesbrough on August 9.
