The midfielder was highly rated by Villa fans as he had come throught he ranks to captain the reserve side. He has had time out on loan at Oldham and chesterfield. His contract expired in the summer and North End moved to buy the player.
This is the first time that Preston have paid a transfer fee for a player since Graham Westley signed Stuart Beavon for a reported fee of around £250,000 from Wycombe.
