Peterborough United target promotion-winning midfielder
Peterborough United are reportedly interested in signing MK Dons midfielder Liam Kelly, who played a key role in promotion-winning campaigns with both Crawley Town and MK Dons. The 30-year-old is entering the final year of his contract and has yet to agree on a new deal, making him an attractive target for clubs, including Posh.
Who is Liam Kelly?
Liam Kelly is a 30-year-old midfielder who has been a regular in the MK Dons team that won promotion from League Two last season. He previously helped Crawley Town secure promotion in the 2023-24 season, scoring in a play-off semi-final against MK Dons and in the final at Wembley. Although he scored only three times in 85 appearances for MK Dons, his experience and leadership could be valuable for Peterborough United.
Why is Peterborough United interested?
Peterborough United see Kelly as an ideal replacement for Archie Collins, who left the club. With the new season approaching, Posh are looking to strengthen their squad. Director of football Barry Fry has indicated that the club is working on up to four new signings. Peterborough United finished 18th in League One last season with 53 points, scoring 64 goals and conceding 68, ending 50 points behind leaders Lincoln.
What comes next?
Peterborough United are expected to make signings ahead of their final pre-season friendly against West Bromwich Albion. The club's interest in Liam Kelly is part of their efforts to improve their squad for the upcoming season. Fans will be watching closely to see if Posh can secure the midfielder's signature.
