Troy Parrott will deliver some New Year's delight to Ireland manager Stephen Kenny when he makes his return to action in the middle of January.
The Ireland striker has been out of action since he suffered a freak hamstring injury in October, as he celebrated his match-winner in the 3-2 win against Norwich.
Parrott is back on the pitch in training and is eager to make a comeback, according to Preston boss Ryan Lowe, but his parent club Tottenham will have the final say on when he is available.
