The loan market has been a successful avenue for Preston North End in recent transfer windows.
You can go further back than the last decade, though, for temporary recruits who made a big impression on the Deepdale faithful. We asked you, the PNE fans on social media, for your favourite ever loan signing at North End.
There were plenty of responses with some players, unsurprisingly, cropping up multiple times. It’s always difficult to see loan stars leave at the end of the season and not return, which a handful of the 11 names below did. But, their spells at Deepdale will still be looked back on fondly for sure...
9. Jermaine Beckford
The Wembley hero as PNE secured promotion via the League One play-offs in 2015. His hat-trick in the final will never be forgotten. | CameraSport
10. Daniel Iversen
Spent the same amount of time at Deepdale as van den Berg and made an equally positive contribution. The Dane made some incredible and memorable saves. | Getty Images
11. Cameron Archer
Signed on loan from Aston Villa in January 2022, Archer was a hell of a lot of fun. He scored seven goals, including the winner against Blackpool at Deepdale. Will always be thought of fondly by PNE fans. | Clive Mason
