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….

6. MICK GOODING
A high class midfielder who scored a remarkable 24 goals from midfield in his one full-season at Posh in 1987-88. Noel Cantwell had signed him from Rotherham United for just £25k. Gooding started the following season well, but Wolves came in and paid £85k for him. Gooding, who finished 1ith 27 goals in 60 Posh appearances, won the Third Division title with Wolves. He was Reading's 3-time player-of-the-season between 1992 and 1996 and managed the club alongside Jimmy Quinn, the pair taking them to the second tier play-off final in 1995. Gooding played over 300 times for Reading and is a regular radio pundit at Royals matches. Photo: David Lowndes
7. MARK MCKEEVER
A winger from the Posh Academy who made 4 first-team appearances before he was surprisingly sold to Sheffield Wednesday in a joint deal with David Billington for £1 million. McKeever made just 5 appearances for Wednesday who sent him on loan to Reading in 1999. He made 7 appearances for 'The Royals', scoring twice. Photo: David Lowndes
