Dickinson worked with Jim Gannon at Stockport

Brighton striker Liam Dickinson has joined Peterborough United on loan until the end of the season.

The move sees the 24-year-old link up with former boss Jim Gannon whom he played under at Stockport County.

Dickinson told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "I haven't been playing regularly at Brighton so it's great to have the chance to play regularly.

"I worked with Jim Gannon for two and a half years at Stockport and we've kept in touch since."

Dickinson won promotion from League Two while playing under Gannon at Stockport.

He then moved on to Derby, but found his chances limited and spent time on loan at Huddersfield, Blackpool and Leeds.

"It didn't really work out at Derby so I spent time out on loan and then joined Brighton in the summer," he said.

"The season started off well, but it's all dried up a little bit so I'm just looking to get my form back and help Posh out at the same time."

Dickinson will compete with Aaron Mclean, Craig Mackail-Smith, Izale Mcleod and Reuben Reid for a place up front.
