He stayed at Deepdale for three-and-a-half seasons making 34 league appearances and scoring 4 goals. He also had a loan stint at Rochdale.

Graham agreed terms with Exeter City on 15 August 2014 and was sponsored by the 1931 Fund. He made his debut against Plymouth Argyle on 16 August 2014 and scored his first City goal against Oxford on 13 September 2014. Hitting three goals in three games Graham netted against Cambridge the following Tuesday and Tranmere on the Saturday. There were to be another four goals bringing Graham’s tally to seven when he was released in May 2015.
