Preston boss Paul Simpson is ready to offer former Bolton striker Michael Ricketts a deal after he impressed during a spell training at Deepdale. Simpson said: "I'm going to speak to his agent and see whether we can sort out some sort of deal where we can keep him for the rest of the season.
"He's shown enough signs already that he could be a good addition."
Ex-Middlesbrough striker Ricketts, 28, is a free agent after ending a short stay at Southend earlier this season.
