Pearce rebuffed Scunny return

20 July 2009 16:10
The Birmingham centre-back, 19, has linked up with Darren Ferguson at London Road on a season-long loan deal, making his debut in Saturday 3-0 pre-season defeat to Aston Villa. Pearce spent last term on loan at Scunthorpe, helping the Iron earn promotion to the Championship via the play-offs and reach the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final. Yet he opted to join Posh over a return to Glanford Park when the offers came his way this time around. He told the Peterborough Evening Telegraph: "I chose to come here over going back to Scunthorpe. "I have always had tough games against Peterborough and it is good to be on board now. There are a lot of good young players here and the club is clearly going places with a big future which excites me."
