SAINTS midfielder Yoann Folly has joined Championship promotion hopeful's Preston on a month's loan.

The 19-year-old Frenchman has only recently come back to the club after having a loan spell at Nottingham Forest cut short in January but is on the move again.

Folly could make his debut tonight in Preston's Championship clash with Sheffield United as the Lilywhites look to secure a play-off place.

Preston boss Billy Davies said: "Yoann is a quality midfield player. He has got great pace and great mobility.

"He will certainly bring us good quality and hopefully one or two goals from the midfield area.

"With the loss of Dickson Etuhu through suspension, we needed to bring some cover in there."

Saints' south coast derby match with Portsmouth at Fratton Park has been selected for pay-per-view showing on Sky Sports but will still take place on Sunday, April 24 with a 12pm kick-off time.
