At the age of 31, goalkeeper Jed Steer is the oldest member of the Posh squad, but he believes the youthful nature of the group will keep him on his toes.
You certainly wouldn't know that Jed Steer is the oldest member of the Peterborough United squad - he is full of enthusiasm and excitement ahead of the new campaign and can't wait for the friendly games over the next few weeks to fine tune ahead of the season opener against Huddersfield at the Weston Homes Stadium (buy tickets here).
Steer re-joined Posh during the summer for a third spell in seven months, a rather quirky sentence, but one that is factually accurate as he initially only joined as cover while Nick Bilokapic was side-lined due to injury, only to return a few weeks after that deal concluded to play his part as Posh reached the play-off semi-finals and lifted the Bristol Street Motors Trophy.
"I don't think many players will be able to say they joined the same club three times in such a short space of time, but I am delighted to be here and have really enjoyed pre-season to date.
"A few people have said that I am the elder statesman of the squad, but I don't really look at that in a negative way, I was one of the more senior players last season and the manager said to me on the flight out to Spain that I must be feeling even older, but I suppose he is right with Jonson Clarke-Harris departing in the summer.
"I don't actually know who is the second oldest at the club now to be honest, but I have loved working with the group, it is vibrant, it is energetic and keeps me on my toes.
"Hopefully it keeps me young, I am sure it will do. There have been quite a few changes at the club in the summer and there may be a new back line that I will be a part of come the start of the season, but pre-season is about building those relationships.
"Training has been enjoyable. Obviously Paul has come in as the new Goalkeeping Coach and me and Nick have worked a lot with him in the first few weeks. As goalkeepers, our job is to keep the ball out of the net, but that is on the training ground in games too.
"For example there was a shooting drill and it had a competitive edge because the losers (the attackers) had to do some press-ups. We were celebrating any miss they made and they were celebrating every goal they scored. We are all winners, we hate losing whether it be a match or a simple drill. I think that is healthy." Steer said.
