11 free agent defenders with Championship and League One experience who may be of interest to Peterborough United

Posh could be forced to bring in defensive replacements during the January transfer window.

Club chairman Darragh MacAnthony revealed this week the agents working on behalf of Ronnie Edwards had started speaking to other clubs in readiness for the 20 year-old’s anticipated departure from the Weston Homes Stadium next month.

Right-back Peter Kioso could also be recalled by Rotherham United from his loan spell, while left-back Zak Sturge’s future is in doubt with Chelsea potentially recalling because of his lack of game time.

But there is plenty of cover out there with these free agents still available as a permanent or short-term replacement.
