Preston sign former Ipswich keeper Michael Crowe
Preston North End have made former Ipswich Town goalkeeper Michael Crowe their second signing of the summer.
Crowe is to join the Lilywhites on a two-year contract from July 1, moving on a Bosman at the end of his current deal at Ipswich.
He will provide cover for Declan Rudd and Chris Maxwell, his arrival set to allow Mathew Hudson to go out on loan to get first-team experience.
Born in London and brought up in Norway, Crowe came through the ranks at Ipswich.
The 22-year-old was on the bench for the Tractor Boys last season but didn't make a first-team appearance.
