Peterborough Signs Irish Defender Weir

Peterborough United has completed its first summer signing by bringing in defender Evan Weir. The 24-year-old Irish full-back was released by Walsall, where he made 56 appearances and scored four goals. Weir's new contract with Peterborough runs until the summer of 2029, with an additional 12-month option.

Manager Luke Williams expressed his satisfaction with the signing, describing Weir as a "really positive player." He specifically praised Weir's defensive capabilities, his ability to join attacks, and his effective delivery into the box. Williams also noted Weir's skill in making progressive passes, stating he was one of the most productive players in League Two last season.

Weir's arrival marks the beginning of Peterborough's squad reshaping after finishing 18th in League One last season. The club has already released three players and placed eight others on the transfer list as they aim to improve for the upcoming campaign.
