Gould could come to Hereford
Preston Today has a report that suggests goalkeeper Johnathen Gould might be allowed to go out on loan from Preston.
Craig Brown has told unhappy keeper Jonathan Gould he can go out on loan if he struggles to find a permanent move. On the same day he agreed to allow Mansfield to borrow young striker Joe O'Neill for three months, the Preston boss told his veteran goalkeeper he too can have a temporary transfer away from Deepdale.
"I am trying to be as helpful as I can to Jonathan," said Brown. "I would certainly consider a loan because it would mean we could call him back if anything happened to either Andrew Lonergan or Gavin Ward."But at the moment Gouldy has had informal contact with one or two clubs and something might come of that."
The exact reasons behind Gould's shock transfer request, while North End were playing a pre-season tournament in Ibiza, are still not being made public.The official line is that the former Celtic and Coventry keeper wants to move closer to his family in the West Country. But he declined to be interviewed by the Evening Post this week as he continued to train as normal with the Preston squad.
Brown said: "I'm happy for Jonathan to stay here, he is a very good keeper. And he has been first class in the way he has got on with his work.Although he has asked for a transfer he has said in both his written request and to me personally that it won't affect his attitude or his performances if he is selected to play.
"We have circulated clubs with his name and Jonathan has enough contacts within the game, as does his father, to find a club."
