Player to Watch: Will Keane
The legend of Will Keane keeps on living in Preston. The 31-year-old is the club's top striker this season and by a large margin having scored 12 goals in 29 league appearances. He added three assists to his record.
The former Manchester United youth player has been moving around lower leagues in England throughout his career and Preston seems to work for him just fine after joining the club last summer from Wigan.
