Posh appoint former Stoke City Head of Academy Goalkeeping as new Goalkeeping Coach.
Peterborough United are pleased to announce the appointment of Richard Taylor as the club's new Goalkeeping Coach with immediate effect.
Taylor, who joins following extensive experience at Sky Bet Championship side Stoke City, both as their Head of Academy Goalkeeping and within the first team group, replaces Paul Gerrard who left earlier in pre-season.
Manager Darren Ferguson said: "I gave myself a good amount of time to recruit for this position and analyse and go through everything we were looking for and Richard stood out in terms of what I wanted.
"He has good experience from his time at Stoke City, has worked with the first team goalkeepers there as well, he is at a good age and is ready for a first team environment, there is absolutely no doubt about that.
"I am delighted to get him in. Stoke have been brilliant to deal with, Richard made it clear he wanted to come and had a real ambition to get it done.
"Kevin has worked with him as well so that helps, but when I spoke to Richard and when the interview was conducted, it was clear that what I wanted and what he wanted in the role were very much aligned, so I am delighted he is on board."
There will be an interview with Richard on Posh+ early next week.
