Skysports.com understands Accrington Stanley are set to sign former Preston North End youngster Tom Smyth.

The 19-year-old has been training with Stanley in recent weeks and has impressed enough to secure a deal with John Coleman's side.

Smyth, who had been reserve-team captain at Preston, is expected to sign a one-year contract with League Two side Stanley.

He was named in Accrington's squad for the reserve-team encounter against his former club on Wednesday evening.

If the paperwork is finalised in time, the centre-half could also be included in Stanley's League Two fixture against Macclesfield Town on Saturday.
