Leeds United swoop for Preston defender Collins
Published Date: 23 March 2010
LEEDS United have moved to plug the gap left by the injury which has
scuppered Patrick Kisnorbo's World Cup dream.
Scottish central defender Neil Collins has signed on loan from Preston
North End until the end of the season after the Australian's season was
ended by a nasty Achilles injury in Monday's 2-0 home defeat to Millwall.
Collins, 26, only signed a three-and-a-half-year deal for Preston after
a £600,000 move from Wolves in January and is set to go straight into
the side to face League One leaders Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday.
The Troon-born centre-back has also played for Sunderland - he had a
two-game loan spell with Sheffield United four years ago - and has made
23 appearances for Preston this season, the last in a 5-3 Championship
defeat at Derby last month.
Meanwhile, Leeds forward Davide Somma has agreed to extend his loan
spell with League Two side Lincoln until the end of the season.
The 24-year-old has made a positive impression at Sincil Bank, scoring
five goals in as many games for Chris Sutton's side.
