Peterborough United have brought in Aston Villa central defender Josh Feeney on a season-long loan.

Feeney came through the youth ranks at Fleetwood before joining Villa in 2021, but although he has played eight times at under-21 level, he has yet to make a senior appearance for the Premier League club.

The 21-year-old former England youth international is set for a third successive season in League One following 31 appearances in all competitions for Huddersfield Town last season, and 39 with Shrewsbury in 2024-25.
