9. Bambo Diaby
Was sold to Sheffield Wednesday last summer, having played 25 games for PNE. Diaby wore his heart on his sleeve and had an infectious personality, on and off the pitch. Sometimes he was great; sometimes he was poor. We'll never know whether he'd have established himself in the side. 5.5/10
10. Dai Cornell
Everybody at PNE speaks highly of the Welshman, who has struck up a great bond with Woodman and done some commendable work in the community. His role is an unselfish one and by all accounts, Cornell cracks on with his work and is a good character to have within the squad. He has played four games for Preston. 5.5/10
11. Ben Woodburn
In all competitions, Woodburn played 61 games for the Lilywhites. He scored twice in the EFL Cup and once in the Championship. There were some good moments in his first year, but the Welshman's minute were extremely limited last season. He will move on to pastures new this summer. 5/10
12. Josh Onomah
Onomah played 13 games for PNE in the second half of the 2022/23 season. He'd shown promise and looked to have built himself up well. But, North End failed to agree anything that summer and he didn't play for anyone last season. A shame, for a player whose talent was clear. 4/10
