HITC Sport understands Preston midfielder is set for League One move.
Preston North End midfielder Ben Pringle is poised to join Oldham Athletic on loan, HITC Sport understands.
Pringle has found himself frozen out of the first-team picture at Preston and has not figured this season under Alex Neill.
The 28-year-old has only been named on the bench for two games this season and failed to come on in either game.
Preston are willing to let Pringle move on as he is unlikely to break into their first-team plans with the side currently riding high in the Championship.
A number of clubs are understood to have expressed an interest in the former Derby County and Rotherham United man, but Oldham have won the race by agreeing a deal with Preston.
Ben Pringle in action for Ipswich
Oldham boss Richie Wellens is looking to bolster his midfield options after Jack Byrne returned to Wigan Athletic following the end of his loan deal and Pringle would help fill the gap.
Pringle will be looking to use the loan move to Oldham to get his career back on track having it stall in the last 18 months at Deepdale.
Pringle will become Oldham’s second signing of the transfer window following the capture of Patrick McEleney from Irish side Dundalk.
