A former Peterborough United goalkeeper helped his team into European football for the first time over the weekend.

Josh Tibbetts was in goal for Caernarfon Town as they beat Penybont FC 3-1 in the Welsh Premier League play-off final to make it into the qualifying rounds of the Europa Conference. Former Posh promotion hero Mark Little was in the Penybont team, but went off at half-time with his team 3-0 down.

Tibbetts moved to Posh from Birmingham in May 2017 when Grant McCann was managing at London Road. He’d spent 11 years in the St Andrew’s Academy, but lasted just a year at Posh without making a senior appearance and drifted into non-league football.

Ex-Posh players Dwight Gayle (Derby), Flynn Clarke (Norwich), Tommy Rowe (Doncaster) and Nathanael Ogbeta (Swansea) have all been released by their clubs. Ogbeta could become of interest to Posh should they sell skipper Harrison Burrows.
