Peterborough United have dipped into the free agent market ahead of their upcoming double-header with Blackpool.
Having seen their defensive ranks weakened by Rotherham’s decision to recall impressive loanee Peter Kioso in January, the Posh have moved to sign former Cardiff right-back Vontae Daley-Campbell on a short-term deal until the end of the season.
The 22-year-old has been training with Darren Ferguson’s side for a few weeks in the hope of landing a London Road deal. He’s reportedly not deemed fit enough to feature against the Seasiders on Saturday. But with an under-21s game against Burnley pencilled in for Friday night, he could make his Peterborough debut in Tuesday’s Bristol Street Motors Trophy semi-final at Bloomfield Road.
Daley-Campbell’s last competitive game for the Bluebirds came against Coventry in the Championship in October 2022. His only other match last season came in the EFL Trophy against Portsmouth – a game that saw the former Arsenal and Leicester youngster sent off.
He’s been without a club since his Cardiff release last summer.
Welcoming the defender to the club, Ferguson said: ‘He is another good option for us at right-back and he is different to what we have. He is a quick, powerful player with a real opportunity to show what he can do. He likes to get forward and attack and I am pleased to have him on board. He needs a game or two to get up to full fitness, but he has settled in well.’
