Defender Bassong signs for Peterborough

Sebastien Bassong has signed for Peterborough.

Bassong, who was a free agent, spent several weeks training with QPR.

The former Tottenham and Norwich defender featured in a number of Under-23 matches for Rangers, who agreed to help him get fit as he searched for a new club and never seriously considered him as a potential signing.

Peterborough manager Steve Evans told his club’s website: “I am delighted. After a week or two talking to Sebastien, we are pleased to able to bring someone of his calibre to this football club.

“His CV is as impressive as we could ever wish to make a signing with. If you are a captain of clubs like Tottenham and Norwich City and play at the highest level at the likes of Watford and be outstanding in your job, then we have obviously signed a major asset.

“I have taken the opportunity to watch Seb recently when he has played for Queens Park Rangers in behind closed door fixtures.

“He is fit, he is ready and is able to go.”
