BLACKBURN-born striker Joe Garner has signed a new three-year contract at Preston North End.
The 27-year-old's 27 goals last season helped to fire North End to promotion back to the Championship, via the League One play-offs at Wembley.
Garner, who was raised in Whalley, said: "I'm over the moon to have signed.
"As soon as the offer was there, I didn't want to go anywhere else.
"I'm happy here, I love the club and I'm just looking forward to next year."
Garner had 12 months left to run on the contract he signed after joining Preston from Watford in 2013.
