A look ahead to Saturday's Sky Bet League One clash with Exeter City at St. James Park (3pm).
Peterborough United make the long trip to Devon to face Exeter City in Sky Bet League One action on Saturday afternoon (3pm) with Darren Ferguson's men looking to build on the deserved point against Bradford City last time out.
Cian Hayes scored the late leveller against the Bantams to secure a 1-1 draw. The Grecians were beaten 2-0 by Northampton Town at Sixfields and will be looking to get back on track against Posh.
TEAM NEWS
New signing Peter Kioso could be added to the squad after a full week's training, while defender Tom Lees and midfielder Matt Garbett are now fit to start after being named in the squad for the game against Bradford.
Alex Bass is due back for the trip to Huddersfield Town, but Sam Hughes and Rio Adebisi are still side-lined. Declan Frith is rated as doubtful.
Exeter could shuffle their pack following the defeat against the Cobblers with striker Jayden Wareham expected to lead the line. Former Posh winger Andrew Andrew Oluwabori is on the books of the Grecians.
ONE TO WATCH
Josh Magennis
Northern Ireland international striker Josh Magennis (pictured below) joined the Grecians on June 27, following his release from Wigan Athletic at the end of last season.
The 33-year-old 6ft 2 forward, who has made 79 appearances for his country, arrives in Devon on a one-year contract to continue his career that has seen him make almost 600 appearances in the Championship, League One, League Two and the Scottish Premiership.
Magennis began his career as a youngster in Northern Ireland as a goalkeeper before switching to the attack in 2008 ahead of turning professional.
He joined the academy at Cardiff City – signing his first pro deal in 2009, playing ten times before a loan move to Grimsby Town. He joined Aberdeen in 2010 and stayed four years in the north of Scotland, scoring ten. He also spent time in Scotland with St Mirren and Kilmarnock.
The Bangor-born striker joined Charlton Athletic in 2016 and scored 20 times in 81 appearances for the Addicks in League One. A year with Bolton was followed by Hull City, where Josh scored 26 times in 88 across the second and third tier, gaining promotion with the Tigers in 2020-21, bagging 19 goals that season.
MANAGER QUOTES
"Exeter have had a mixed bag of results, but they are always difficult to play because they rotate a lot within their XI in terms of positions. We were very good against Bradford and certainly deserved to win the game, we have had a good week's training and we are gradually getting players back. I am sure it will be a busy few days ahead of the window closing," Darren Ferguson said.
