Preston North End have completed the transfer of defender Steven Smith from Norwich City on a free transfer. The Scottish left back could make his Preston debut in this weekend’s League one clash against Scunthorpe United. Smith can also play in midfield if required, a quality that would certainly have attracted Lilywhites gaffer Phil Brown.
Smith started his career with Rangers and played eight years with them before joining Norwich on a Bosman. He was once very highly regarded at Ibrox Park and was also capped by Scotland U-21. However a series of injuries resulted in him losing his first team spot. At Norwich, he found it difficult to settle and was therefore shipped out on loan to Aberdeen in the 2011 January window.
