Liam Delap believes he is a stronger player for his struggles at Stoke and Preston, as he aims to make it third time lucky in the Championship next season.
Delap rose to prominence at City with his prolific scoring at youth level, before netting on his senior debut in the Carabao Cup against Bournemouth two years ago. He was involved around the first team for much of 2021/22 until injury hit, and he was then sent on loan for senior experience last season.
He joined father Rory at Stoke but struggled to make an impact with just three goals in 23 outings before making a January switch to Preston. However, he only scored once at Deepdale from 15 outings.
