The 24 year-old impressed on loan at Posh from Championship side Huddersfield last season, forming an impressive midfield partnership with fellow new recruit Jack Taylor.

Brown’s wages at Huddersfield make a permenant deal unlikely, but Posh boss Darren Ferguson has confirmed he is keen to push through another loan deal for a player who made 12 appearances for the club last season.

Posh are determined to strengthen their midfield. They currently have just Taylor, Louis Reed and teenager Kyle Barker who specialise in central midfield roles in the first-team squad.

Brown was a Posh transfer target before he moved to Huddersfield from Forest Green in July, 2019.

Josh Knight, who is capable of playing in midfield or central defence, is not expected to return to Posh after his loan spell from Leicester City last season.
