Accrington captain Andy Procter has joined Preston for an undisclosed fee.
The 28-year-old joined the Reds from neighbours Great Harwood almost 10 years ago and has gone on to make 416 appearances for the club, putting him second on the club's all-time appearances list.
Procter will join the Lilywhites on an initial loan deal to allow him to feature against Leyton Orient on Saturday before completing the permanent switch on Monday.
