STEVE EVANS has backed Jason Cummings to kick-start his career this term.

The former Rangers striker made his Peterborough bow in the friendly win over St Neots on Saturday.

Cummings has joined Posh on loan and boss Evans said: “A manager like Mark Warburton does not take you to Nottingham Forest and you do not play for Glasgow Rangers unless you are top class.

“I know a few people who Jason knows and that has helped us to get him to the football club along with the fact he already knows one or two of the lads here.

“He is looking to get his career going again by scoring goals and helping us to be successful, but first and foremost he has to earn the right to be in the team just like any other player. He worked hard on his debut and will benefit from his first minutes of the summer.”
