Town are reported to have made a late attempt to sign Alex Woodyard, who joined Peterborough United from League Two Lincoln City last week.

According to the Peterborough Telegraph, the Blues unsuccessfully tried to persuade the former Southend, Dartford, Concord Rangers and Braintree man to move to Portman Road, while several other League One sides in addition to Posh were also interested.

Woodyard, who played against Town for the Imps in both 2016/17 FA Cup ties, completed his move to London Road last Wednesday, new Blues manager Paul Hurst’s appointment having been announced earlier the same day.

The 25-year-old was in the Lincoln team which beat Hurst's Shrewsbury side 1-0 in the Checkatrade Trophy final at Wembley in April (pictured above).

Peterborough are said to have activated a £225,000 release clause in Woodyard’s Sincil Bank contract.

GiveusaWave added 22:27 - Jun 6 It is highly plausible that we may have gone in for him but were only willing to pay up to a certain wage limit. Posh were willing to pay more and got their man.....but no skin off our nose. Good thing that we were not willing to pay a wage over the odds.
