Santos played 75 times for Posh, scoring once, after signing from Thurrock in 2014. He moved to Barnet in 2017.

And a third former Posh defender to move this week was Nat Knight-Percival who has joined Morecambe from Carlisle.

Former Posh skipper Jack Baldwin moved to League One rivals Bristol Rovers last week and another ex-Posh captain Alex Woodyard is believed to be of interest to AFC Wimbledon.
