Peterborough United’s decision to release David Ajiboye and Justin Osagie is reflective of football’s harsh realities—potential doesn’t always translate to permanence. For Ajiboye, a career that saw glimpses of promise now takes a turn, with new opportunities hopefully on the horizon. Osagie’s case is a stark reminder of how fierce competition can be, even before a first-team breakthrough.

Meanwhile, the retention of Abraham Odoh is a testament to hard work paying off. His 11 goals and 10 assists were pivotal for The Posh, proving that given the right platform, young Nigerian talent can shine. Adebisi’s resilience through injury and Aderoju’s steady development hint at a promising future if nurtured well.
