Brentford loanee Jayden Meghoma could make his debut for Preston North End in their away game against Luton Town at the weekend after joining the Lancashire club on Thursday.

The teenager has been brought into the squad to add to North End's attacking threat as well as providing relief for defender Kaine Kesler-Hayden, who has played all 90 minutes in 15 of his 24 Championship appearances this season.

"It gives us that opportunity now to have more competition, more cover and better balance to the team," boss Paul Heckingbottom told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"He's probably played more games at left-back in a back four. But, he's athletic, he likes to get forward. We want to push him and get him creating and scoring goals."

Preston are also boosted by midfielder Robbie Brady's return to fitness following a rib injury.
