Holden looks forward to a bright future at London Road

Peterborough United have signed Oldham Athletic defender Dean Holden on a two-year contract.
Holden, 24, joined the Latics on loan in October 2001 from Bolton and made a permanent move seven months later but turned down the offer of a new deal.
Posh manager Mark Wright told the club website: "We have been chasing Dean for some time and it's a major coup for us.
"He is highly-rated. Dean is captain material, he's a winner and hopefully that'll be infectious."
Holden told Posh's website: "I wanted a new challenge and I have no problems stepping down to League Two level because I believe it will be a short stay."
