Peterborough sign Huddersfield keeper Nicholas Bilokapic

"The next part of my development is to get game time; I feel this is the perfect scenario for me. I have been second choice goalkeeper in the Championship for the last two seasons so this is the right step in the direction for me and I am really excited about the opportunity," he told the club website.

"I spoke with the manager, he talked through the plans and what he expects and really sold it to me. I wanted to get it done as soon as I could. You don't really want it going on too long in pre-season, it gives me the chance to come in, get to know everyone and be good to go."

Manager Darren Ferguson added: "I am delighted to bring Nick to the club. He has great potential, is a good size, is good with his feet and has experience of playing football within the Championship last season for Huddersfield, big games too as they were trying to stay in the league.

"I felt when I came in last season when I did, we needed to go down a different route in the goalkeeping area, but it is a totally different situation now, we are at the start of the campaign. We have two young goalkeepers who can compete against each other.

"I like Nick's temperament; he is very calm and he fits what he needs. He brings a good size, he is an imposing, aggressive goalkeeper and I think he has got stacks of potential. I think the two goalkeepers will scrap it out and I am happy with that, they will push each other on."
