The 18-year-old number one has been joined at ‘The Tulips’ by former Posh player Callum Chettle, who concluded last season at Stamford AFC.
Chettle made 22 appearances for Posh after transferring from non-league Nuneaton in January 2016.
Additionally, another former Posh player, Tyler Winters, has signed on with Spalding United after spending last season at the club on loan.
Kyle Barker and Sam Cartwright, both of whom have made senior appearances for Posh, are also at Spalding.
On Saturday, Spalding defeated higher-level Boston United 2-1 in a home friendly.
Sam Bennett and a trialist scored the goals in front of a crowd of 503.
Spalding will host Posh in a friendly on Tuesday night, with kickoff at 7:45 pm.

Posh were delighted when Jed Steer agreed to return to the club after the former Aston Villa player impressed following his arrival last January.
“A few people have reminded me that I am the elder statesman of the squad,” Steer said. “But I don’t really see that in a negative way.
“I was the oldest player last season, and the manager said to me on the flight out to Spain that I must be feeling even older, and I suppose he’s right with Jonson Clarke-Harris departing in the summer.
“I don’t actually know who the second oldest at the club is now, but I have loved working with the group. It is vibrant, it is energetic, and it keeps me on my toes.
“Hopefully, it keeps me young, and I’m sure it will. There have been quite a few changes at the club this summer, and there may be a new back line that I will be a part of come the start of the season, but pre-season is about building those relationships.”
Steer must also build a relationship with a new goalkeeping coach, as former Everton number one Paul Gerrard has replaced Ali Uzunhasanoglu, who has returned to work in the Posh Academy.
Steer will battle with young Aussie Nicholas Bilokapic for the starting spot, with Will Blackmore expected to be sent out on loan.
“Training has been enjoyable,” Steer added. “As goalkeepers, our job is to keep the ball out of the net, which means on the training ground as well as in games.
“For example, there was a shooting drill in Spain, and it had a competitive edge because the losers (the attackers) had to do some press-ups.
“We were celebrating any miss they made, and they were celebrating every goal they scored. We are all winners. We hate losing, whether it be a match or a simple drill, and that is healthy.”
