Brown, 25, links up with Posh for a third loan stint. He made 44 appearances in the club's promotion to the Championship last term and 12 in the 2019-20 season.

Out of favour at the John Smith's Stadium, Brown has not featured this season for the Terriers.

Meanwhile, young forward Phillips, 21, has linked up with Exeter on loan for the rest of the campaign.

Phillips was recalled from a temporary spell at Walsall - where he scored five goals in 33 appearances - to continue his football education in Devon.

He is the third Town player to be recalled from a loan spell and be sent out elsewhere this month following the returns of Romoney Crichlow and Matty Daly to head to Plymouth Argyle and Bradford City respectively.

Phillips was recalled last week by the Terriers, and has now gone back out on loan to St James Park.

A centre-forward by trade, Phillips spent most of his time at the Saddlers playing on the wing, has recently found himself largely limited to appearances from the bench, with the last of his 15 starts coming on New Year ’s Day.

On the incoming front, Town have brought in Chelsea loan midfielder Tino Anjorin, former loanee Carel Eiting and experienced keeper Jamal Blackman so far on deadline day.

Meanwhile, young Austrian keeper Nicholas Bilokapic - who recently made his debut from the bench in the FA Cup tie at Burnley - has joined Hartlepool United on loan for the rest of the campaign.
