Peterborough United will be left with two massive holes in their frontline this summer, with Ephron Mason-Clark and Jonson Clarke-Harris both set to leave the club.

Mason-Clark signed a deal with Championship side Coventry City at the end of the January transfer window before being loaned back to Posh for the remainder of the season, while strike partner Clarke-Harris will see his contract come to an end in June.

The former Bristol Rovers man was close to a return to the Memorial Ground last summer, and would have been turning out for the Gas this year had it not been for an admin issue preventing the deal from being completed.

The pair both look set to be leaving London Road this summer though, and Darren Ferguson’s side could do a lot worse than eying up a move for Leyton Orient’s Ruel Sotiriou.

Sotiriou catches the eye for the O’s

After coming up through the Orient youth academy, Cyprus U21 international Sotiriou has enjoyed a number of non-league loans through his teenage years; with fruitful spells at Hampton and Richmond Borough and Dover Athletic just two of the six clubs he took to the field for lower down the football pyramid.

That grounding at grassroots level only seemed to do the 23-year-old the world of good, with his proper breakthrough into the first team at Brisbane Road coming at the back end of the 2019/20 season, with five goals in his ten appearances proving his capabilities at League Two level.

A further 11 goals followed in the next campaign as the young star adapted to life as a professional, with a stretch of six goals in seven games in March helping Orient to a respectable 13th-placed finish in the fourth tier.
