Jack Is Taylor Made For The EFL Step Up Say Pleased Posh

They will pay the Bees an initial fee of £500,000, which could even rise to £1million in the years ahead.

The classy midfielder has impressed scouts as the League One Posh again show their desire to offer chances to players outside of the EFL.

Taylor, 21, has an eye for goal scoring 15 times for the club having made over 100 appearances.

Barnet have wished him well for the future and Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson has outlined why the club had to invest to bring him to London Road.

“The boy is absolutely ready for this step-up,” he told the club’s website.

“He can play in a variety of positions, a variety of formations, has a really good passing range, can score goals from midfield and plays off both feet. The two signings we have made in January have been very important ones, this is another one that we were interested in the summer so it shows we have been consistent in our targets.

“We couldn’t get it done in the summer, but I am delighted we have been able to get it done now. He has played over 100 games including a full season in League Two.

“He has developed over the years, he can sit in midfield or he can play further forward in an attacking role. He can play anywhere in the diamond which was a real attraction.

“We have been patient, we haven’t panicked and just gone out and signed anyone.”
