Brandon has no doubt Peterborough United are the right club for him
New Peterborough United signing Brandon Khela is convinced he has joined the right club to further his career.
The 20 year-old, who had been a Birmingham City player since the age of 7, signed a four-year deal with an option for a fifth year at Posh on Tuesday. The courting process had apparently been going on for a while with Posh regular watchers of a dynamic midfielder while he was on loan at League Two promtion winners Bradford City in the second half of last season.
Posh were convinced enough to offer Birmingham a ‘large’ undisclosed fee. Khela was convinced enough to sign that long-term deal.
"I’m delighted, over the moon to be here,” Khela told the Posh media team. “I know Peterborough had been watching for quite a while, but it was a big decision for me having been at Birmingham for so long.
"But there comes a time in everyone’s career to move on and this is my time. I spoke to the manager who explained the style of play and young the team was and I definitely feel Peterborough is the right club for me.
"I trust the manager and I hope he will trust me. I feel I can play anywhere across the midfield and it’s good to join the team in pre-season so I can hit the ground running.
"I had a brilliant experience at Bradford City which can only help. I was playing for a big club in front of a big crowd and I have a promotion on my CV. Most importantly I gained valuable minutes of playing time so I am very grateful to them.”
Kehla trains with the Posh squad on Thursday. They then head to St George’s Park for a training camp before tackling Leicester City in a pre-season friendly at the Championship club’s training ground on Saturday, July 5.
