Goalkeeper Steer released by Peterborough
Peterborough United have cancelled the contract of goalkeeper Jed Steer at his request.
The former Aston Villa keeper had another 12 months left on the deal he signed last summer but wants to leave for "personal reasons".
He saved two penalties against Wrexham to help Posh reach this season's EFL Trophy final at Wembley, and kept a clean sheet when they beat Birmingham City in the final to make it back-to-back wins in the competition.

The club have confirmed that highly-rated winger Kwame Poku, forward Ricky-Jade Jones and midfielder Hector Kyprianou, who scored the second goal in the 2-0 win over Birmingham, will all leave the club when their contracts expire.
Posh will be entitled to tribunal compensation for Poku and Jones, who both came through their academy.
