Grimsby Town have swooped to sign Preston North End goalkeeper Wayne Henderson on an initial month's loan.

The Mariners had been hoping to land Ipswich Shane Supple, but changed targets to Henderson after being frustrated in their pursuit of the Town keeper.

Henderson joined the Lilywhites in January 2007 from Brighton & Hove Albion, but has made only eight appearances for Preston to date.

The Irishman started his career with Aston Villa and had loan spells at Tamworth, Wycombe Wanderers and Notts County before heading to the Seagulls in the summer of 2005.
