Barry Fry is looking to bring in some defensive cover ahead of Peterborough's next Championship fixture.

Posh are currently languishing in the relegation zone after 11 games of the season but Fry believes manager Darren Ferguson should have one extra option available to him for the trip to Bristol City on 17th October.

A loan agreement is in place for the unnamed player, although Fry admits the deal is still not certain to go ahead.

"There is definitely a chance we could have a defender in the squad before our next match," director of football Fry told the Peterborough Evening Telegraph.

"It's a player the manager made his major target in the summer, but for one reason or another we weren't able to complete a deal.

"We have an agreement in place with the player, but the club are keen on tying the lad to a new contract before they allow him to go on loan."
