Peterborough United winger linked with a move to a former club
Transfer-listed Peterborough United winger Cian Hayes could return to a former club this summer.
The PT predicted in May that Rochdale would be interested in re-signing Hayes if they returned to the Football League and now Pete O’Rourke, a well-connected national journalist, believes that move could happen.
O’Rourke said Dale are ‘eyeing up’ a move for the 22 year-old on X on Thursday night.
Posh signed Hayes from Fleetwood for an undisclosed fee in July, 2024, but he was scouted during an excellent loan spell at Rochdale when he scored 6 times. Rochdale won promotion to League Two at the end of last season after winning the National League play-offs.
Hayes has made little impact in two seasons at Posh. Of his 78 Posh appearances, 45 were made from the substitutes’ bench. Hayes scored 7 goals before he was transfer listed at the end of last season.
Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony claimed he had received a couple of ‘mind-blowing’ bids for a transfer listed player on the last edition of his ‘Hard Truth’ podcast.
The other transfer-listed Posh players are Declan Frith, Donay O’Brien-Brady, Klaidi Lolos, George Nevett, Abraham Odoh, Chris Conn-Clarke and Bradley Ihionvien.
