Jack Marriott scored 33 goals in all competitions in the 2017-28 season after moving to Posh from Luton Town, 27 of them in League One. He moved to Derby County for £4 million at the end of that season.
Marriott returned to Posh on a free transfer in June 2021, but he couldn’t dislodge Jonson Clarke-Harris from the starting line-up and after 16 more goals in 58 (29 as a sub) appearances he was sold to Fleetwood Town in January 2023.
From there he moved to Wrexham before joining Reading last summer. Marriott scored for Wrexham at London Road last season and he’s been in hot form for Reading, scoring eight goals in 13 appearances in an injury interrupted season.
Here are some other players to have represented both Posh and Reading….
1. KWESI APPIAH (left)
Technically this forward didn't actually 'play' for Posh. He was an unused sub twice in his four months at the club in 2010 when he was on loan from non-league Weymouth. He went on to have a 450-game Football League career, 6 of them (1 goal) on loan at Reading from Crystal Palace in 2015. Still playing aged 35 for Ebbsfleet in the National League South. Photo: a
2. JONATHAN BOND
Reading actually loaned their Academy graduate goalkeeper to Posh for the 2017-18 season and he was pretty good. He made 45 Posh appearances before joining West Brom from Reading. Now plays for Houston Dynamo in the United States. Bond played 14 times for Reading. Photo: Joe Dent
3. KEVIN BREMNER (right)
This striker's one season at Posh (1990-91) was ruined by injuries. He scored 4 goals in his first 4 games for the club after moving from Brighton. He came back into a Posh side heading for promotion from Division Four and came on as a substitute in the final day 2-2 draw at Chesterfield. Bremner scored 6 goals in 24 appearances (20 starts), scoring his final goal in an important late-season 3-0 home win over Cardiff City, before he want to play for Dundee in Scottish football. He scored 21 goals in 64 appearances for Reading between 1985 and 1987. Photo: David Lowndes
4. DARREN CASKEY
A former Spurs midfielder who played 4 times for Posh on a non-contract basis in the 2004-05 season. He was way past his best by then. Reading had paid Spurs £700k for Caskey in 1996 and he stayed at the club for 5 years making 232 appearances and scoring 45 goals. Photo: s
