Peterborough United have signed winger Declan Frith from Swiss club FC Thun for an undisclosed fee.

The 23-year-old had spells in the youth set-ups at Chelsea and Aston Villa before moving to Spain in 2023 to play for Valencia's reserve side.

He joined Thun last summer and helped them win promotion to the Swiss Super League, but has now agreed a three-year deal with Posh.

"We were aware for a while that we needed a right winger, because we knew that Kwame (Poku) would be leaving," said manager Darren Ferguson.

"There were other clubs in for him in higher leagues, but I think he has seen what we do as a club and I can't wait to start working with him."

Frith is Peterborough's second summer signing following forward Kyrell Lisbie from National League club Braintree Town.
