PNE swooped in to sign the former Derby County man from Huddersfield Town in the summer
Ryan Lowe's phone buzzed with a reply from Duane Holmes almost instantly after the Preston North End manager texted him in the summer. The Lilywhites made eight signings in the transfer window and so far, Holmes has arguably made the biggest impact of all. With seven goal contributions from 16 appearances in all competitions, the American has fitted right in at Deepdale and quickly become a fan favourite.
And then, when we made the phone call to get him, Neil said he didn't want to stand in the lad's way - and if there was a longer contract for him, then he'd let him walk away for a small fee. That is certainly what he did, so fair play to Neil for allowing that. I don't think Duane was part of his plans and I'd obviously played with Duane years ago, at Bury. 'I used to see him on holiday most years to be honest and we'd always have a good chat.
