The defender, 26, has joined initially on loan until January 4, when he is then expected to become a fully-fledged North End player. The deal was sealed just minutes before the transfer window closed on Tuesday but Collins revealed it had been in the pipeline for some time. "I am obviously delighted," he told the official website. "I have been thinking about this move for two months now and for it to run so late was not ideal. "But the fact it got done in the end is the most important thing and the fact that I can get up to Preston and get started is what I've wanted for so long."
