Peterborough United have named midfielder Jack Collison as the manager of their Under-21s side.

The Wales international, who has not made a competitive start since May 2014, is still registered as a player for the League One club.

A succession of injury problems have plagued Collison in recent times, leading to the 26-year-old turning towards the coaching side of the game.

Peterborough, the club he joined earlier this summer, will now take on the former West Ham United man as manager of the U-21s.

Collison will also take charge of the first team's friendly against Bishop's Stortford on Tuesday.
