Steer has started the last four matches for Posh and kept his first clean sheet in Saturday’s 0-0 League One draw at Lincoln Cuty.

That could, however, have been the 31-year-old’s last game for the club after Ferguson admitted that he is unsure if he will remain at the club following the expiration of his short-term deal on January 31.

Steer came in as cover for regular number one Nicholas Bilokapic after he was injured against Barnsley on December 29 and the Australian has now returned to full fitness.

He was on the bench against Lincoln and will start Tuesday’s EFL Trophy tie against Wimbledon.

Ferguson confirmed: “Nick has only trained twice in the week so was too rusty for today. He’ll play on Tuesday.

“I’m not sure if we’re keeping Jed, I’ve got to be honest. He came in as an emergency goalkeeper and I’ve put him in the side ahead of Fynn Talley.

"He’s done very well, but Nick and Fynn were my number one and two and that situation hasn’t changed.”

Talley played for the under 21s in a 4-1 home defeat at the hands of Bristol City in a Professional Development League game at Deeping Rangers FC today.
