I'm not so sure young Creech is still at PNE. It seems he was released at the end of last season. I think prior to signing for us he'd spent the early part of the season playing for Haslingden St Mary's in the West Lancashire League.

Yes, you're right. Presumably then brought in as right back cover - we don't need any more midfielders!

I've no issue with being Preston's nursery if they're good

Age old argument, loaning off others whilst we have our own reserve side.

The thing is that we currently aren't loaning anyone. Both Melle Meulensteen and Louis Fensome have, it seems, both gone back to PNE early so where that leaves the City/PNE relationship I've no idea, just seems strange that nothing has been said by either club. As regards Creech it looks like he left PNE at the end of last term and after playing for Haslingden St Mary's and our reserves he seems to have broken through to the first team squad. Sumner and Mayers both seem to have a lot of work commitments as has Killer of late. That's what I'm guessing anyway.
