Preston North End have signed free agent Jamal Lewis, a Northern Ireland international fullback.
"We've been struck by a few injuries which has made the squad look a bit thin, so we felt we needed more cover in the short term and I'm really happy we've been able to bring in someone of Jamal's calibre,"
said boss Paul Heckingbottom. Lewis brings experience of playing at the highest level, having earned promotion out of the division and playing international football since 2018.
"I spoke to the manager. Obviously he knows of me and my running power, what I can give to any team that I play for."
Lewis was released by Newcastle United last summer and has been a free agent since then.
