Lee Trundle signs Preston deal

Preston North End have confirmed the signing of veteran striker Lee Trundle on a one-year contract.

The 35-year-old former Swansea striker is back in English football after two seasons with Welsh side Neath.

"I'm delighted to join a massive club," said Trundle. "Although we are in League One, the club should be a lot higher and I am looking forward to being a part of this season and getting the club promoted."

Chairman Peter Ridsdale added: "Lee is a player the manager identified as someone he felt would add attributes to the squad that we didn't have.

"His performances in the two pre-season games have impressed the manager and the supporters alike and I am delighted he has agreed to join us and wants to be a part of what we believe could be something special for Preston North End."

Trundle made his name at Swansea City, where he scored 78 goals in 146 league appearances.
