Leicester youngster opts to return from loan at Peterborough | OneFootball

Josh Knight has decided to try and force his way into Brendan Rodgers’ plans at Leicester City.

The boyhood Foxes fan has been on loan at League One side Peterborough United for the past 18 months.

Rather than remain at the Posh, the versatile 22-year-old has stated his desire to return to the King Power Stadium next season.

He is one of three loanees who have told the Cambridgeshire outfit they wish to return to their parent clubs.

Speaking to the Peterborough Telegraph, United’s director of football Barry Fry said: “We had a conversation with all of them about coming back in some way next season, but for now they all wanted to return to their former clubs and have a go at getting a game for them.

“Good luck to them. They were all good for us and maybe we will look again if things don’t work out as they expect.”

Knight, who can operate in both defence and midfield, took to Twitter to say goodbye to the Posh.

His one senior appearance for Leicester came as a substitute in a League Cup win against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane in August 2017.
