Emil Riis joined Bristol City this summer
Emil Riis will be back at Deepdale tomorrow for the first time since leaving Preston North End.
The Danish frontman’s four-and-a-half year stay in Lancashire came to an end upon the expiry of his contract, and he completed a free transfer to Bristol City.
Riis scored on his final appearance for PNE, coincidentally in the 2-2 final-day draw at Ashton Gate.
That last strike—a headed goal to put Preston in front—took his overall North End tally to 46 goals in 186 outings.
The 27-year-old has scored three goals and assisted one in his six league outings for the Robins to date.
