Woodburn, 24, joined Preston from Liverpool in July 2022.

The midfielder made 21 appearances for the club in the Championship this season.

He made 63 appearances for Preston in total, but only made 13 league starts for The Lilywhites during his time at the club.

Woodburn came through the academy at Liverpool under former coach Jurgen Klopp.
