Peterborough United announce the signing of Middlesbrough midfielder

Peterborough United have sealed the signing of Middlesbrough youngster Callum Cooke on a two-year deal, the club have announced. 

Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony announced the signing of attacking midfielder Callum Cooke from Championship club Middlesbrough. The youngster has joined on a two-year deal with an option to extend the deal by another year.

The midfielder becomes the fifteenth signing in a busy summer for The Posh, and will be in contention for selection in the season opener against Bristol Rovers on August 4th.

Posh manager Steve Evans was thrilled to seal the signing, and told the club website:

 

“We have signed a good player. I know him very well from a playing perspective. He was impressive when I saw him at Middlesbrough and I followed his career when he moved on-loan to Crewe Alexandra. He was outstanding during that loan spell.”

“He then went to Blackpool and before they signed additional players, he was a regular in the starting line-up and he was superb playing against Posh at the ABAX Stadium. Kyle Vassell scored the only goal that day but their manager remarked plenty of times about how good Callum was that day. He brings competition to the midfield area.”

21 year-old Cooke expressed his happiness at the transfer, and is looking forward to making an impression on the Posh faithful:

It is a big move because it is a long way to move geographically but I felt it was the right time. I have done my research on the club and the manager has outlined his plans.”

“The lads have been really welcoming, they are a good group and hopefully we can achieve our aims. For me personally, I am an attack-minded midfield player, I want to get forward and create and score goals. My target is double figures in terms of goals and I feel I can achieve that,
