Last week’s bid was rejected by Paul Warne and MK Dons

Former MK Dons assistant manager Luke Williams remained tight-lipped on the potential to bid again from Peterborough United for midfielder Liam Kelly.

The Player of the Season was subject to an offer from Posh at the end of last week, but Paul Warne was quick to rebuff the approach, saying it was not in the interest of Dons nor Kelly to make the move.

Since the rejection, it is understood that there has been no further bid from the Cambridgeshire side.

Williams, who took over at Peterborough last season, is in the midst of a huge rebuild at London Road, eager to help them look up the League One table after a couple of abject years in the division since their relegation from the Championship.

The Posh boss had previously been Russell Martin’s assistant at Stadium MK before following him to Swansea in 2021, and had been amongst the front-runners to take following Scott Lindsey’s sacking in March 2025, though the club instead opted for Paul Warne.

Speaking ahead of Peterborough’s Carabao Cup game against Bristol Rovers on Saturday, Williams said he was an admirer of Kelly but would not be drawn further on whether the club would make another approach.

“I’ve known about this player for a number of years because he is a very, very good player,” he told the Peterborough Telegraph. “In fact, in my time at MK Dons, we were really interested in him.

“I know him, he’s very, very good but at the moment, he’s an MK Dons player so I can’t say anymore than that. There’s no doubt he's very good for this level though.”
