Player Profile – Andy Lonergan.
Andrew Michael "Andy" Lonergan was born in Preston on 19 October 1983.
After attending St. Cecilia's RC Technology College (now St. Cecilia's RC High School) Lonergan made his Preston debut managed by David Moyes as a 16-year-old in a 4-1 League Cup tie defeat at Coventry on 27 September 2000. His league debut came later in the season in a 3-2 home win over Watford on 22 April 2001. With his progress being closely monitored by the goalkeeping coach, Peter Williams, he was sent out on loan to Darlington in December 2002 where his loan ended after a week after picking up an injury, both his matches finishing in draw. In February 2003 Lonergan joined local rivals Blackpool on loan for a month but didn’t make a first team appearance
With David Moyes leaving to join Everton and Craig Brown entering the managerial fray at Deepdale, Lonergan was promoted to the first-team squad for the final stage of the 2002/03 season as an understudy to Scotland international Jonathan Gould. With Gould out injured for a period of the following season, Lonergan snapped up his goalkeeping gloves and stood between the sticks for the for 8 league matches, two years after his debut.
On 2 October 2004 Lonergan scored a goal from his own penalty area in the 39th minute against Leicester to equalise, after his long kick bounced over Leicester goalkeeper Kevin Pressman after defender Matt Heath had let the ball bounce. The game ended in a 1–1 draw.
He remained at Deepdale for the 2004/05 season under the watchful eye of new manager Billy Davies, and played a part in half of the season before he ruptured his cruciate ligaments before a game against Ipswich, due to Lonergan's injury, Carlo Nash was signed as a replacement by Billy Davies from Middlesbrough to shore up the goalkeeping crisis.
To get some match fitness after his injury Lonergan joined Wycombe on loan on 6 October 2005 for a month. His debut the following day was a 1-0 win at Grimsby. His final match on 15 October was a 0-0 at home to Rushden as he became injured once again due to a screw holding his ligament in place snapping.
In November 2006, Lonergan joined Swindon on a one-month loan contract to gain first-team football. He returned early, however, after he wasn't given the football he desired under new Swindon Manager Paul Sturrock who had just replaced Dennis Wise making just one appearance.
He returned to the Preston bench until January 2007, when Nash's unprofessional attitude meant a recall to the first team for Lonergan in an FA Cup Fourth round tie at Crystal Palace in which he impressed with a clean sheet in a 2–0 victory for Preston on 27 January. After establishing himself as Preston's number one, Lonergan won Preston's 2008/09 player of the year award.
After Preston club captain, Paul McKenna was sold to Nottingham Forest in August 2009; Lonergan was made a vice-captain to new club captain, Callum Davidson. Lonergan's first match which he started as captain was at Deepdale, where he led the Lilywhites out to win 2–0 against Swansea on 12 September 2009.

Lonergan played a big part in helping Preston reach the playoff Semi-finals during the 2009–10 season but lost over two legs to Sheffield United. During the summer Premier League club West Brom had three separate bids rejected for Lonergan, with Preston manager Darren Ferguson claiming he valued Lonergan at £20 million and that he didn't want to sell him.

In September 2010, Lonergan was charged for making obscene gestures to fierce-rivals Burnley's supporters during Preston's 4–3 loss and was fined for the incident and warned of his future conduct.

After the game manager Simon Grayson revealed Lonergan had surgery on the finger and would be ruled out for a minimum of six weeks.
After returning from injury, Lonergan was on Leeds' bench against Watford on 10 December, due to the impressive form of loanee Alex McCarthy.
