Dundee-born Wallace started his career under Martin O'Neill at Celtic

Preston North End have completed the signing of Ross Wallace on a four-and-a-half year deal.

The left winger has been on loan from Sunderland since August, with an agreement for an undisclosed fee between the two clubs.

The 23-year-old told North End's official club website: "I was always hopeful of staying at Preston.

"The loan deal was until the end of the season, but we have managed to get a deal done."

"The last few months have been good," he said. "I've enjoyed my time at Deepdale and I am delighted to be here for the next four-and-a-half years.

"I came to Preston to play games and I have done that.

"We have a good team and a good bunch of lads here and hopefully within the time I am here we can achieve our aim, which is to get to the Premiership."
