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.
9. 10. Troy Parrott - 6/10
Divided opinion during his Deepdale stint, but Parrott’s commitment could very rarely be faulted. Grafted away in the final third and brought others into the game. Didn’t score enough goals, but a clever footballer and it will be interesting to see how his career develops. Photo: CameraSport - Rob Newell
10. 9. Milutin Osmajic - 6.5/10
A club record signing, who is still looking to find a level of consistency in his first season as a Championship player. There is an onus on PNE to provide him with service, which hasn't been there on plenty of occasions. Time is still on his side as North End look to get the best out of the Montenegro international. | CameraSport - Dave Howarth
11. 8. Mads Frokjaer - 6.5/10
The technical ability of Frokajer is clear to see, but question marks over his suitability to this Preston team are understandably there. The Danish midfield has an air of class about him and - with three goals to his name - PNE supporters will hope to see him kick on in the second half of the season, after a frustrating couple of months. | National World
12. 7. Duane Holmes - 7/10
Holmes was one of the main men in the first few months of the season and he's still one of the PNE players who can provide a spark. Been in and out a bit more in recent weeks and will be itching to score his fifth goal in all competitions, having last netted in early November. A solid addition. | CameraSport - Dave Howarth
