Released Aston Villa goalkeeper Jed Steer has signed with Peterborough United.

Steer has signed a short-term deal with Peterborough to cover for injured keeper Nicholas Bilokapic.

Posh boss Darren Ferguson said: "It is a move that just makes sense - Jed will come in and provide short-term cover."

"Jed has good experience, and he will challenge Fynn while he is with us. I am pleased that Jed is on board and am looking forward to working with him."

Steer said: "I am really looking forward to coming in and helping the squad during this period.

"Obviously, the team are doing really well, you can see it is a brilliant environment to come into and I am excited to meet the rest of the squad and of course the goalkeepers' union."
