On 3 August 2015, Kane signed a new three-year deal at Chelsea, therefore keeping him at the club until 2018.[5][6] On 23 September 2016, Kane signed another new three-year, extending his stay until 2019.[7]

Loan to Preston North End

In November 2012, he joined Football League One side Preston North End on loan until January 2013.[8] He made his professional debut on 24 November 2012, in a 2–0 defeat to Leyton Orient.[9] He made a total of five appearances in all competitions during his time at Deepdale.

Kane's season was cut short when he suffered an injury during the game against PEC Zwolle on April 20, 2016. Kane was stretched off the pitch in the closing stages of the game. After an MRI scan, it was confirmed that Kane had torn his anterior cruciate ligament, ruling him out for 4–6 months.[31]
