Danny Preston

Career
Danny Preston worked his way through the youth set up at Nottingham Forrest where he was from the 16/17 season to 21/22 where he only played once. He had two loan stints at Hamilton and Port Vale where he played over 30 games scoring 1. He was released after this and then Gateshead found him on the free agent list where they signed him as Geschwill broke his leg early on in the season. This in turn made him number 1 left back at the club as he played 38 times and gave 1 assist. With new centre backs coming through, Alex Lacey was pushed to LB and Preston ended up playing as a back-up during the 23/24 season. He managed a total of 25 games and provided 1 assist. The 24/25 season saw him go way down the order, he finished the season with 16 appearances and 3 assists. The 25/26 came and it was obvious that Preston was looking to leave. Billericay came in with a £60,000 offer wehich after some consideration, Ireland allowed the deal to go through. Preston ended his Gateshead career with 79 games and 3 assists in the short three years spent at the club.
