Martin joined Posh from Wycombe last summer

Peterborough captain Russell Martin believes adapting to Championship life will be the club's biggest challenge yet, but one they can deal with.

Posh are back in the second tier of English football for the first time in 15 years.

Martin told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "The step up to the Championship, especially the top six teams, will be very different to what we're used to.

"But we can't wait to prove we can play at this level."

Like many in the Posh squad, Martin has no experience of Championship football.

The 23-year-old started his career with Brighton before moving to Wycombe, but has an idea of what to expect.

"Individual players will be more athletic, stronger quicker and more teams will get down and pass it," he said.

"Hopefully that might just suit us when you get teams who want play entertaining football."
