Peterborough United’s local rivals Cambridge United have appointed Neil Harris as their new head coach.

Harris, who was recently sacked by League Two side Gillingham, replaces Mark Bonner who was dismissed by Cambridge just three weeks after a 5-0 thrashing at Posh.

Harris has previously managed Millwall and Cardiff City. He steered Millwall to promotion from League One via the play-offs in the 2016-17 season.

Cambridge have been in freefall in League One, losing their last three games to drop to 18th place, but they did beat Fleetwood 4-0 in the FA Cup last weekend.

Harris will make his debut in the dugout in a League One game at Charlton Athletic on Saturday.
