Preston North End manager Ryan Lowe has made 19 signings in total during his time at the Deepdale helm.
Eight of those arrived this summer, with nine recruits brought in over the course of the 2022/23 season. In Lowe’s first transfer window - January 2022 - the Liverpudlian added two players. One of those was Bambo Diaby, who had already been training with the club prior to the boss’ arrival.
We have now had a go at ranking every signing made by Lowe at PNE, with a rating excluded for those players recruited this summer - given the infancy their respective Preston careers are in.
1. 18. Josh Onomah - 4/10
Showed promise after getting himself fit and into the team, but ended up leaving the club after four months due to silly complications during talks in the summer. A case of what could've been. Photo: CameraSport - Alex Dodd
2. 17. Layton Stewart - 4/10
The striker has made the odd cameo appearance off the bench, but nothing sufficient enough to judge him on. Has a contract at PNE until 2026 and could do to get out on loan this month.
3. 16. Liam Delap - 5/10
The hope was that he could play a big part in the second half of last season, but it didn't quite happen for him - with Tom Cannon stealing the limelight. Delap has shown what he can do at Hull City this season. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
4. 15. Dai Cornell - 5/10
Made his full league debut for PNE, at Swansea City, just before Christmas. His role within the squad is far from glamorous, but by all accounts a top character to have in the dressing room. Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
