Freddie Woodman: Preston North End sign Newcastle United goalkeeper for undisclosed fee

Preston North End have signed goalkeeper Freddie Woodman from Premier League club Newcastle United for an undisclosed fee.

The 25-year-old has agreed a three-year deal after spending the second half of 2021-22 on loan at Bournemouth.

Woodman made four Premier League appearances for the Magpies at the start of last season and also played five cup games for the club.

"His attributes are playing out from the back and his goal saving of course, so he'll be a top player for us and we're really excited to start working with him."

Former England Under-21 international Woodman also had loan spells at Hartlepool, Crawley, Kilmarnock, Aberdeen and Swansea - spending two full seasons with the latter - during his time at St James' Park.
