Lisbie told the Peterborough United website: "I can't wait to get started. I am really excited to represent this great club and the supporters.
"Everybody knows how Peterborough United operate in terms of bringing young players to the club and giving them the opportunity to perform, it is down to me to take that opportunity,

Lisbie had a brief spell playing alongside his twin brother Kyreece Lisbie at Braintree, this season.
Kyreece joined the Iron on loan and the duo played their part in helping to keep the Iron in the National League, under the management of Steve Pitt.
Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson told the club’s website: “Kyrell is a player that we have kept an eye on for the last few months.
“We have had some very impressive reports on him as well and we are pleased to get the deal done.
“He can play in different positions along the front line so that gives us good flexibility and I am looking forward to working with him.”
