Preston North End have signed goalkeeper Freddie Woodman.

The 25-year-old has signed a three-year contract with the club after leaving Newcastle United.

Woodman spent the second half of last season on loan at Bournemouth.

"It's been a while trying to get this over the line, but I'm delighted to be here and I feel very honoured to be joining such a fantastic football club and a club that's going in the right direction," said Woodman after signing.

"Obviously I knew Marshy [first-team coach Mike Marsh] coming here.

"He played a big part in me picking Preston over other clubs that I had offers from."
