Bolu Shofowoke is in the top 10 list of youngest players to have made Football League appearances for Peterborough United.
The teenager came on as a late substitute in Saturday’s 1-1 League One draw with Bolton Wanderers at the Weston Homes Stadium aged 16 years and 193 days.
Shofowoke is the seventh youngest player to make a Football League appearance for the club. Matthew Etherington is the youngest, and the only 15 year-old on the list.
Shofowoke is expected to sign a pro contract at Posh when he turns 17 in October. He has been a prolific goalscorer for the Posh Under 18 side this season.
He is the 14th player aged 16 or younger to play for Posh in a Football League match. The list includes current striker Ricky-Jade Jones who has just passed 200 first-team appearances.
