Peterborough United has made a significant addition to their squad by signing 24-year-old defender Evan Weir. The club announced the signing on June 11, 2026, with Weir joining from League Two side Walsall on a free transfer. His contract with Peterborough United officially begins on July 1. Weir, who is capable of playing on the left side of defense, expressed his gratitude towards David Okagbue for his pivotal role in convincing him to make the move to the club. The influence of Okagbue, a fellow player at Peterborough United, played a crucial part in Weir's decision-making process. As the club prepares for the upcoming season, the addition of Weir is expected to bolster their defensive options significantly. Fans are eager to see how the new signing will fit into the team's plans as they aim for success in League One this year.
