Winger joins North End

Preston have signed Sunderland winger Ross Wallace on a 12-month loan and could snap him up on a permanent deal.

The 23-year-old could make his North End debut at Crewe on Saturday after the Deepdale outfit paid a loan fee and agreed a price for a full-time deal.

However, Black Cats boss Roy Keane can take the former Celtic youngster back to the Stadium of Light at the end of the forthcoming season after a clause was inserted by the Wearsiders.
