Peterborough United, now managed by former Lincoln City FC manager Keith Alexander, are in the chase for two ex-Imps.

One of the names on their list will come as no surprise to Lincoln City's supporters because it is former Imps' striker Simon Yeo. He is expected to complete a transfer to Peterborough by the end of the week, after he travelled with the club for their pre-season tour of Ireland.

Peterborough played the first match of their tour on Monday evening, when they defeated Sligo Rovers by a 4-0 score line; Yeo scored two of the goals.

Meanwhile, Alexander has identified former Imps' loanee Guy Branston as the man he wants to replace Sean St. Ledger, who completed a move from Peterborough to Preston North End on Monday.

Branston played six matches on loan at Lincoln City between August and September 1999. Although Branston only stayed a short while at Lincoln, he impressed many fans with both his defensive and attacking qualities. He later joined Rotherham where he was a vital member of the Rotherham team that rose from the Third Division to the First Division within two seasons.

Still just 27-years-old, Branston would make an excellent signing for any League Two club. He is currently a free agent after recently leaving Oldham Athletic.
