Lewis Moat, middle, has been "temporarily" recalled by parent club Peterborough Northern Star

FORMER Peterborough United ‘keeper Aaron Butcher is set to make his March Town United debut against Ipswich Wanderers on Saturday.

Hares boss Brett Whaley is poised to pull off a transfer coup tonight after Butcher was released from his contract at Evo-Stik Division One South Ilkeston yesterday.

The 20-year-old has verbally agreed to join March on a “week-to-week” basis and will replace Lewis Moat who has been “temporarily” recalled by parent club Peterborough Northern Star.

Whaley said: “Aaron’s a great ‘keeper and to get someone in from a side who plays two levels above us, even if it’s only for a few games, is fantastic.

“The loan deal with Lewis is not dead because he’s been excellent so we’ll have a brilliant ‘keeper either way in the coming weeks.”

March, sixth in the Ridgeons First Division, beat struggling Ipswich 4-0 away in the corresponding league fixture in September.

Elsewhere, chairman Phil White has taken charge of the club’s reserve team for the third time.

The winless Hares second-string - who travel to Buckden tomorrow - remain rooted to the bottom of the Cambs BIS League Division 1B.

White led the side to their first Cambs Junior Challenge Cup title last season.
