Preston have signed West Brom midfielder Darren Carter.

North End have paid their Championship rivals £750,000 for the former Birmingham star - although the fee could rise by another £500,000.

The 23-year-old has sunk down the pecking order at The Hawthorns and manager Tony Mowbray admitted he could not stand in his way.

Darren didn't play as much football as he would have liked last season," said The Baggies boss.

"I had a chat with him and he told me he wanted to figure more regularly this season.

"I couldn't promise him that so when Preston came calling, I think it was a move which suited all parties.

"I want to thank Darren for his contribution last season and wish him all the best in his future career."

Preston boss Paul Simpson added: "It's taken a while but I'm pleased and I'm looking forward to him being a Preston North End player."

Carter is Preston's fourth signing of the summer following on from Billy Jones, Karl Hawley and Kevin Nicholls.

You've made some astute, strong signings thus far.

I hope Hawley can repeat his lower league form in the Championship.

Yeah he has had a fairly decent record iver the last few seasons but out of all the players we have brought in up to now he is the one that the fans are cautious over i really do hope he does well.

Just need another striker now to compleat the squad.

Fryatt and Miller would be the pick of the bunch there IMO.

Yeah i wouldnt mind either tho Fryatts goal record in the championship doesnt look good.

I wouldnt mind Riordan either Celtic want £1 million for him and i reckon he could do a job in the championship.
