He went straight into their team to face Manchester City the following Saturday and was again ever present in his first full season at Deepdale, after which he shared the gloves with George Prout for a further two seasons. After their relegation in 1925 Branston reclaimed the number one position in 1925-26, he eventually lost his place to Tony Carr in September 1926 after 136 appearances for North End, and retired subsequently from professional football, already well into his 30’s.
