JOL-Y GOOD MOVE FOR MATTHEW

-

FULHAM full-back Matthew Briggs has joined Peterborou­gh for a month after asking Martin Jol for a move.

The 20-year-old could extend his deal at London Road if he gets the first-team football he wanted under Cottagers boss Jol.

“I want to get games under my belt and more experience so it’s a good idea to come to Peterborou­gh,” he said.

“It’s a month to start with, then it could be extended.”

Briggs, an England U21 internatio­nal, was in the team for Europa League games early in the season but has only started one Premier League match.

He added: “I kept telling Martin Jol every day I needed to play games as I was on the bench all the time.”
