On 3 February 2010 he signed a two-and-a-half-year contract to become player-goalkeeping coach at Peterborough United [8] . He was given the number 37 shirt and appeared as an unused substitute for the game against Blackpool on 17 April 2010 due to the absence of number 1 Joe Lewis and the number 30 shirt for the match against Huddersfield in the play-off final, where again he was on the bench due to the absence of Lewis.
