Preston will make goalkeeper Chris Maxwell their first signing of the summer when his Fleetwood contract expires at the end of June.
The 25-year-old has agreed a three-year deal which will keep him at Deepdale until 2019.
The Welsh shot-stopper has made 102 appearances since establishing himself as first choice at Fleetwood last season, and was named the Cod Army's player of the season in 2014/15.
Maxwell said: "It's a fantastic club; it's the biggest club in Lancashire and I've heard nothing but positive things about it and it's a really exciting time for me.
"I've had plenty of advice from people who have spent many, many years here and there's nothing but positive feedback.
"There's a fantastic fanbase, and a fantastic stadium which I have been lucky enough to play in a few times, and also a very experienced manager too, so it's really positive from my point of view and I can't wait to get started."
Preston manager Simon Grayson added: "Chris is another hungry young player, with the right attitude, and we are looking forward to working with him.
"He has done very well down the road at Fleetwood and this is an opportunity for him to step up to the Championship and show what he is about once more."
