"I think any player who leaves Liverpool is a bit disappointed because they are one of the best teams in the world, without a doubt," said the striker.
"I have left before to go on loan at various clubs, but it was a big step to leave Liverpool fully and commit myself to Preston.
"I am really excited. This is a big club that has been in the play offs for the past two seasons and I'm hoping we can go one better this year and get promotion.
"People might mention the injuries but it's just about playing football now. I've come here to hopefully get the chance to try and do that. I just want to put the past behind me and look to the future at Preston."
