Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom says he can adapt their current squad to help their position in the Championship.

Heckingbottom inherited the vast majority of his squad following former boss Ryan Lowe's sacking, having arrived at the club on 20 August, just 10 days before the summer window closed.

Josh Bowler is the only player signed on Heckingbottom's watch with the winger arriving on loan from Nottingham Forest on deadline day.

Having said he is unsure over what business the club can do, contingent on how well they perform in December first, Heckingbottom also admitted that new additions might boost the squad he currently has available.

"These are players that I know, I've worked with a couple of them. I've got to know them, I like how they train and how they've responded," he told ����ý Radio Lancashire.

"But as always you want to help them. And bringing in new players sometimes helps the ones who are already here. If we can do that, that would be great."
