The Posh have signed the nineteen year old despite interest from Wolverhampton Wanderers and Watford who he was due to train with this week. Blanchett has had a trial period at Premier League giants Liverpool and will become 'the fastest left-back in League Two'.
Blanchett told his new club's official website theposh.com:
'I am really exited about this move, it is a good club to sign for. Peterborough are an ambitious club, the chairman wants to go places and the manager matches that ambition.
I want to play first team football and hopefully I will get that opportunity here. A few clubs have watched me at Cambridge City, but I just kept my head down and did my job. I thought as a young player Peterborough would be the ideal club for me.
I am a left-back, I like to play football and play with players that like getting the ball down. I have had a few chats with Darren Ferguson on the phone and his style seems to suit my game. He wants to get promotion and the club still has the chance this year,'.
The move continues Peterborough's desire to sign the best young talent from the non-league pyramid.
