Posh set to make their second summer signing ahead of the new campaign with the arrival of highly-rated young midfielder.
Peterborough United are delighted to announce the signing of Sunderland midfielder Harrison Jones for an undisclosed fee, with the 21-year-old putting pen to paper on a three-year contract at the Weston Homes Stadium.
Jones, who has made seven appearances for the Black Cats in all competitions, has completed the formalities at the Bespoke Builds Training Ground and, subject to the relevant paperwork, will officially become a Posh player on 1st July.
The 21-year-old joined the Black Cats aged six and progressed through the famed Academy of Light. He has been named on the bench for the first team in a number of fixtures during 2026, including Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa, and has been a regular in the PL2 (Premier League 2) throughout last season.
Manager Luke Williams said: "Harrison is an ambitious and talented young player who has had a great start to his career at Sunderland, with first team experience and being in and around the first team for a couple of years.
"He had a lot of different options for the next stage of his career so we are delighted that he has chosen us and we are looking forward to working with him."
Jones is excited by the next chapter in his career and can't wait to get started. "It has all happened quite quickly, but when I heard of the interest, it was definitely something that excited me.
"I have been at Sunderland since I was very young, so it was always going to be a difficult decision to leave, but I know that it was the right time to get out and play football. I would describe myself as a versatile midfielder, I can play in a number of different roles, at Sunderland you are encouraged to play in different positions. They taught me a lot about humility at Sunderland, I learned a lot from my time there.
"There are a lot of big clubs in League One, but we are a big club too and I can't wait to get started. It was really important to get things done before pre-season and now I can look forward to coming in and meeting everyone," Jones said.
Jones will be at the Fanzone Fun day on Saturday 4th July (2pm-5pm) alongside the rest of the first team squad as we launch our 2026/27 new away shirt. Find out more here
