League One club bizarrely sign the same former Premier League player TWICE in the January transfer window as they confirm deadline day deal

A League One club signed the same player twice in the January transfer window - bringing him back just three days after he walked out.

Peterborough United's acquisition of free agent Jed Steer seemed an ordinary signing on January 4 when they gave him a short-term deal to cover for first-choice goalkeeper Nicholas Bilokapic.

That deal expired on January 29 and Steer wanted to go because he couldn't be guaranteed enough play time.

The former Aston Villa goalkeeper had made four appearances but was out of the team on Bilokapic's return against Wimbledon.
