Posh boss to hold talks with transfer-listed duo

David Ajiboye produced five goals and four assists in 55 appearances as Peterborough reached last season's League One play-offs

Peterborough United manager Darren Ferguson plans to hold talks with transfer-listed duo Romoney Crichlow and David Ajiboye over their futures.

The 25-year-olds were made available in May but remain at the club following the end of the summer window on Friday.

Crichlow is yet to feature for Posh in League One this season, while Ajiboye has made one substitute appearance in their first four league matches.

"It's slightly different for the pair of them because David can play right wing, left wing or wing-back, whereas Romoney's a centre-half. So David will get more opportunities to be involved," Ferguson told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.

"I've got to have a discussion and conversation with them, in terms of whether they're willing to go to the National League to get games or whether they don't want to go to that level and want to wait until January. I'll make decisions based on those conversations."

League Two side Bradford City, who borrowed Crichlow for the 2022-23 season from his former club Huddersfied Town, failed with a bid to re-sign him on loan in July.

The pair could feature when Peterborough start their EFL Trophy defence at Gillingham on Tuesday.

"I've always treated this tournament exactly the same - of very high importance," said Ferguson.

"If you can get your first couple of wins in the group stage, then you're through, which is the important thing.

"We'll take a strong team and squad and hopefully go and get a result. Gillingham have started the season really well and we know it will be tough."
