Peterborough Sports have signed two players from Stamford AFC and a third could be on his way to PIMS Park
New Peterborough Sports boss Graham Drury has made his first two signings.
Drury has raided his former club Stamford AFC to sign central defender Jordon Cooke and star striker Leon Lobjoit.
Cooke made 45 appearances for ‘The Daniels’ last season, scoring 5 goals, while Lobjoit scored 12 goals in 19 appearances after moving to the Zeeco Stadium midway through the campaign.
Cooke, who was described as ‘a leader’ by Drury, and Lobjoit are unlikely to be the last Stamford players to make a move to the city club. Striker Kai Sanchez-Tonge said his farewells to Stamford on X today. He was the club’s top scorer last season with 13 goals and has been tipped to follow Drury’s path.
Lobjoit (31) has an excellent scoring record in non league football. He scored 27 goals for Bedford Town during their promotion winning 2024-25 season at step 3 which is the level Sports will play at next season.
Lobjoit told the Sports website: “I’m buzzing to be here; it’s a good club and I’ve heard lots about them. Obviously with the gaffer coming over, the decision was a no-brainer.”
“As soon as he got in contact, straight away I wanted to come and be a part of the club. I’m a hard worker. It will be non-stop running and hopefully lots of goals.”
Sports and Stamford will be Southern Premier Division Central rivals in the 2026-27 season.
