Preston North End have signed Derby County's Jay McEveley on loan to solve their left-back shortage.
The former Blackburn defender travelled to Deepdale on Monday morning to join on a month's loan and is likely to make his debut against Swansea on Tuesday night.
North End boss Alan Irvine is without Michael Hart and Callum Davidson for the Swansea clash, Hart having been stretchered off during the derby defeat to Burnley with an ankle injury.
X-rays have revealed the former Aberdeen player has not broken his ankle, but he's still set for a spell on the sidelines.
Davidson replaced him at Turf Moor but was later sent-off for deliberate handball, his one-match ban ruling him out of the Swans' visit to Deepdale.
McEveley, 22, kicked off his career at Blackburn, making 27 appearances, and had loan spells at Burnley, Gillingham and Ipswich.
He joined Derby for £600,000 in January last year - Billy Davies taking him to Pride Park - but has recently fallen out of favour with Paul Jewell.
His last appearance for the Rams came against Swansea 10 earlier this month.
