Last updated : 25 June 2006 By Luke Gale
Paul Simpson has moved to sign the former Manchester United winger Danny Pugh. The left winger will finally fill the void left by Eddie Lewis who moved to Leeds United last season.

Pugh has signed a 3 year deal at North End and will hopefully be the first of many additions as Paul Simpson looks to build on the success of last season to get Preston North End into the Premiership.
