Former Peterborough United defender Nathan Thompson joins Stevenage

Thompson has linked up with former Posh boss Steve Evans after being released by the club at the end of the season.

The 32-year-old has agreed terms with the newly promoted club in a deal that is now subject to EFL and FA approval.

Thompson joined Posh in the summer of 2019 and went on to make 131 appearances for the club, including playing a key role in the promotion of the 2020/21 season.

He played his final game of the club off the bench in the play-off semi-final defeat at Hillsborough.

He will play alongside former Posh defender and Stevenage captain Carl Piergianni, who the club gave an improved contract this week.

When asked about this time at Posh by his new club, Thompson said: “My time at the club is something I look back on with pride.

“We were able to achieve promotion to the Championship and for a club that hadn’t been in the play-offs for eight years and that is something we can be proud of.

"It was certainly a successful period, it ended tough losing that play-off semi-final but it’s a time look back on really fondly.”

Thompson is the first of the players either listed or let go from Posh following the conclusion of the season to find a new club.
