The Posh star enjoyed a dazzling first full season in the Football League scoring 15 goals as promotion was secured from League Two.

But Boyd refuses to rest on his laurels. He is determined to play a huge part in a second successive push for promotion.

Boyd said: "It's been a pleasure to play in a side with so many great attacking players and when you look at the talent in our squad it's not hard to see why we were so successful.

"It's easily been the best season of my career, but it's over now and we are concentrating hard on more success next season.

"I firmly believe the side we have can go all the way to the top as we have a lot of young, hungry players who are going to get better.

"On a personal note I was delighted with the number of goals I scored and if I can match it in the division above I will be very happy. We are all targeting an immediate promotion to the Championship."

Posh look like being backed by some of the biggest crowds at London Road for many seasons. The club have already sold a record 3,100 season tickets for the 2008-09 campaign in League One.

Posh sold close to 2,000 last season, but are well on the way to reaching chairman Darragh MacAnthony's target of 3,800. Posh kept prices the same as for last season.

They also have attractive local derbies against the likes of Northampton and Leicester to look forward to. Season tickets can still be purchased at discounted rates from London Road.

Manager Darren Ferguson and Director of Football Barry Fry were due back in the country today after a celebratory holiday in The Bahamas at their chairman's expense.

The pair are expected to speed up negotiations for the club's summer transfer targets. Ferguson has indicated he would like to sign a right-back, a midfielder, a winger and possibly a centre-back before the players report back for pre-season training next month.

Posh are also keen to unload unwanted players like winger Josh Low and striker Danny Crow as quickly as possible.
