Another busy summer looks in the offing at Preston North End.
Loan players will return to their parent clubs, some senior squad members are out of contract and others could well move on.
PNE boss Paul Heckingbottom regularly says each window is an opportunity to improve and that will be the aim.
The Lilywhites spent the first half of the season firmly in the play-off mix but a poor couple of months has seen them drop into the bottom half of the table.
There are seven games left to contest and 21 points to play for but clearly, it would take an incredible run-in for PNE to put themselves back in contention.
With that in mind, we take a look at every member of Heckingbottom’s squad and where they stand heading into the the last few games, then summer 2026...

2. Pol Valentin
He's had a solid enough first year at the club to date but will be looking to rediscover his best form, over the run-in. Has two years left on his contract. | Getty Images
3. Andrija Vukcevic
Vukcevic has exceeded expectations and also has a couple of years left on his deal. With 23 games played, he'll be wanting to limit the injury setbacks. | CameraSport - Rich Linley
4. Ben Whiteman
One of Heckingbottom's most trusted players, having started every league game bar one - when he was suspended - this season. Whiteman's contract won't be far away from coming into focus. Will he stay at Preston into his 30s, or seek a contract and fresh challenge elsewhere? | CameraSport - Shaun Brooks
