EFL club bizarrely sign player TWICE in same window as fans say ‘my head is spinning’
PETERBOROUGH have announced the signing of Jed Steer for the second time this month.
The goalkeeper, 31, was signed on a short-term deal earlier in the January transfer window.
Posh have now confirmed his signing AGAIN after he penned a deal until the end of the season.
Steer went unbeaten in four appearances before his initial contract expired earlier this week.
After missing Tuesday’s EFL Trophy quarter-final win over Wimbledon, he is now back at London Road.
Speaking to the club website, he explained: “I am happy to be back, and 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.
“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 at training.”
Supporters were left baffled by the announcement, though, with one commenting: “My head is spinning, what do you mean he’s back?”
Another added: “Only we do a transfer tease and bring back a player that ‘left’ just a few days before.”

A third fan also wrote: “Third signing of the window and it’s the same as the first.”
Meanwhile, one more joked: “We missed him for all of one day.”
Steer had been without a club since the summer before his initial move to Peterborough.
The 31-year-old was released by Aston Villa at the end of last season.
A former England youth international, he made three Premier League appearances for Villa.
