Preston North End have signed defender Eddie Nolan from Premier League outfit Blackburn Rovers on a three-and-a-half-year deal.
The 20-year-old has been on loan at Deepdale since October and his impressive performances have prompted Irvine to shell out a 'significant six-figure incentive-based' transfer fee for his services.
Irvine said: "I am really pleased. We signed Eddie on loan and hoped it would become a permanent deal and it has done now. I think we will see the promise and potential that Eddie has got.
"He has played in the first team earlier than I anticipated and he has done himself no harm whatsoever with his performances. It is important we have players who are versatile and adaptable and Eddie comes into that category."
