Simpson, whose previous clubs include Rochdale, Blackpool and Walsall, has signed a three-year deal with the Deepdale club.
Preston have announced that they will officially unveil the 39-year-old at a press conference on Monday morning.

Absoloutly gutted that he's left us!
He's helped turn our club for a struggling League 2 side into a team that has a decent chance of challenging for promotion next season.
I just hope we get in a manager as competent as Simmo as a replacement, preferably someone who knows the club either from playing here, being a supporter or having some other association. I can't think of anyone off the top of my head, maybe give Billy Barr a chance
(should he want the job) as he's done a top job with the youth team.
