Former Celtic winger Scott Sinclair is looking for a new club after being released by Preston North End. The 33-year-old left Paradise in January 2020 for the North-Western outfit. The ex-Manchester City and Swansea City attacker made 85 appearances in that time.
The Deepdale club decided that they would make a number of changes this summer with 13 first-team players seeing their contracts run down. Sinclair arrived from Aston Villa in 2016, making a stunning impact during his time at Celtic.
Sinclair was a key player in the Treble Treble team as one of Brendan Rodgers’ favourite players. From signing from Villa, Sinclair scored on his debut and the next four games after that – becoming the first player in 94 years to score five goals in his first five games.
However, Rodgers’ departure and the arrival of Neil Lennon saw Sinclair’s game time dry up and he was clearly out of favour with Lennon. In 167 appearances, Sinclair scored 62 goals as well as winning 9 trophies in his time in Glasgow.
Best of luck to Sinclair, a Championship team could do a lot worse than offering an experienced pro like Sinclair the opportunity to bolster their ranks.
