It looks like Sean Maguire has quickly settled into life in The Championship.
The 23-year-old made his debut for Preston North End on Saturday afternoon, as the team defeated Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at Deepdale.
Maguire started the game and played for well over an hour, before he was substituted. The former Republic of Ireland Under-21 international made an impression.

Local journalist Dave Seddon was among those who took a liking to the former Cork City striker.

Pearson named man of the match. Cunningham and Maguire also very impressive

While Maguire failed to score on the opening day of the season, he impressed the Preston faithful in what will hopefully be a sign to come this season.
Great win to kick off the new season. Maguire looks very sharp around the box. Hugill superb when he came on. Changed the game #pnefc

Would like to see Maguire play in a front two. Felt that he needed someone a bit closer to him today. Lad will score goals #pnefc

Love Maguires attitude. Gets fouled a lot but just gets back up. Puts the like of Forrestieri to shame..
