Preston defender Neill Collins has completed a move to Championship rivals Leeds for an undisclosed fee. The 26-year-old centre-half spent three months on loan at Elland Road last season and has now signed for Simon Grayson's side on a permanent basis. North End have also announced that French defender Youl Mawene has not signed a new contract at Deepdale and is now a free agent. Deepdale boss Darren Ferguson said: "Youl was offered a one-year-deal but he wanted a two-year-contract and I expect that he will get a contract elsewhere."
