Ex-Aston Villa goalkeeper Jed Steer has returned to Peterborough United on a contract until the end of the season.

Steer, 31, originally joined Posh on 4 January on a short-term deal as cover for keeper Nicholas Bilokapic, who had suffered a knee injury.

His initial stay ended after four games, of which Posh won three.

But Steer, who was released by Villa last summer after more than a decade with them, will now see the season out with promotion-chasing Posh.

"I am here to help the club in an exciting part of the season with the team in a good position in the league and also in the semi-finals of the Bristol Street Motors Trophy," he said.

"It was a strange feeling watching the scores come through on Tuesday evening, so when I heard that there was something to be done, it was obviously an opportunity that I wanted to take. I was gutted to leave in the first place, but I am here now, and I can't wait to get back out there."

Third-placed Posh's next league game is at home to mid-table Wigan Athletic on Saturday.

The only other signing Posh have made in the January window is also from a Premier League club, Brentford winger Michael Olakigbe.
