David Thomas Hugh Buchanan (born 6 May 1986) is a footballer who plays for Preston North End. His cousin is former Lisburn Distillery footballer Wayne Buchanan.
Career
Born in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, Buchanan was called into the Northern Ireland under-19 squad in November 2004 for their match against Italy.[2]
Buchanan was released from Bury at the end of his contract. The club had offered Buchanan a new contract, however after previous failed negotiations and period of no response from the player following a new contract offer, the club sought a replacement player and issued a statement claiming that the club would not be held to ransom over contract negotiations.[3]
He signed for Hamilton Academical in July 2010[4] before moving to Tranmere Rovers in the summer of 2011.[5] The club offered him contract terms for the 2012–13 season.[6] Although the club reported that he and his agent had agreed a two-year contract, they reported on 24 May that Preston North End had agreed a deal with them.[7]
Buchanan made his debut for Preston on 13 August 2012 against Huddersfield Town in the first round of the League Cup.[8] On 17 December 2013, Buchanan extended his contract with Preston for a further twelve months, thus keeping him at the club until the summer of 2015.[9]
