Jason Jarrett ended an unhappy year as a Norwich City player today when it was confirmed that he would be joining Championship rivals Preston North End.
The 26-year-old, who signed for Norwich from Wigan last summer, had been on loan at Deepdale since March, with a view to a permanent deal going through on June 1 after his temporary contract expired.
City will receive a loan fee of £30,000, with a further undisclosed sum when the permanent deal goes through.
Jarrett started just six league games for Norwich in a season in which he also spent time at Plymouth Argyle on loan.
It was an unhappy period for a player who had helped Wigan earn promotion to the top flight but then opted to move to Norfolk because of the potential he saw at Carrow Road.
He rarely figured in Nigel Worthington's plans but finished the season by appearing in the first leg of Preston's play-off semi-final against Leeds, who now face Watford for the final promotion place.
