Posh have secured the signature of Norwich City goalkeeper Vicente Reyes in a loan deal until January 2026.
Peterborough United are pleased to announce the signing of 21-year-old goalkeeper Vicente Reyes from Sky Bet Championship side Norwich City in a loan deal until January 2026.
Reyes joins to provide cover for Alex Bass, who will miss six weeks of action with a foot injury sustained in the pre-season friendly at Milton Keynes Dons.
With Will Blackmore not back on the grass and Nick Bilokapic remaining on the transfer list, manager Darren Ferguson moved quickly to bolster his ranks.
"Will is not far away fitness wise, but unfortunately has suffered a bad bout of Covid. He was due to be back on the grass on Monday, but obviously hasn't been in.
"With regards to Alex, there were three outcomes, short-term, mid-term and long-term. The diagnosis is mid-term, which is obviously disappointing for us all including him, but the consultant said it could have been worse.
"We moved quickly to bring in Vicente. When I sat down with Richard (Taylor) to discuss goalkeepers, it was a short list because we had clear requirements of what we were looking for and the fact that Vicente has played games at this level was important.
"He also played three or four games at the back end of the season for Norwich City in the Championship and fits in with what we look for in a goalkeeper. He is fit and raring to go," Ferguson said.
Reyes, who trained with his new team-mates on Thursday, said: "I am pleased to be here and can't wait to get started. It has happened quite quickly, I heard about the interest yesterday and obviously I wanted to get it done as it is a good opportunity for me.
"Norwich play in a similar style to Posh, so that will obviously help me settle in. I am excited about what is to come," Reyes said.
