Paul Huntington has reflected on his time at Deepdale, with his time at Preston North End finally coming to an end.
The defender joined the Lilywhites from Yeovil Town in 2012 and has six made 306 appearances, scored 18 goals and earned one promotion - becoming the 26th man to join the illustrious ‘300 club’.
Huntington was brought on for his final appearance with ten minutes remaining of Preston’s clash with Middlesbrough and was applauded and celebrated for a brilliant ten years in Lancashire.
Speaking about the fans after the game, Paul said: “Just a big thank you to them, to my teammates and to the staff, but the fans have been brilliant with me.
“They’ve made me feel ten feet tall by singing my song. While it’s not an individual sport, it’s a team sport, it’s not been about me.
“But they’ve made me feel right at home and I’ve got a lot to thank them for because they drove me on, and I’ll always be one of them now.”
