Despite what the article says, the player is still shown on Preston's official website as 'in on loan'. It's a mute point of course as he's on loan till the end of the season when his Cardiff contract ends. No word from CCS on this though?

As an aside, I didn't realise that Ridsdale is PNE's 'owner' - just behind the pace as usual am I?
