The striker is in his second spell with the Posh but it’s fair to say this season hasn’t gone how he would’ve hoped from an individual perspective as Marriott has managed just four goals in 21 games and it’s clear that returning boss Darren Ferguson has preferred options in the final third.

Therefore, a move is perhaps not a surprise and Football Insider have revealed that it’s all sorted for the 28-year-old to join fellow League One side Fleetwood.

They state that the next step is for the former Derby County man to have a medical, with an announcement to follow providing everything goes well.

That will be a welcome addition for Scott Brown as his side are nervously looking over their shoulder after a poor run of form has left them just four points above the relegation zone.

Marriott could make his debut for the Cod Army in the huge game at home to fellow strugglers Burton Albion this weekend.

They have both played in the top-flight of English football.

Yes No

The verdict

This would seem to be a good deal for all parties as Fleetwood need a goalscorer and Marriott would arrive with good pedigree and he could be the man to help them get results to climb the table.

For the player, he needs a move as he isn’t going to get the game time he wants at Peterborough, so he will surely welcome the switch.

Now, it’s down to Marriott to rediscover his best form at Fleetwood and if he gets back to a high level this could turn out to be a very shrewd bit of business.
