Reading sign Villa winger on transfer deadline day

READING snapped up the loan signing of Aston Villa winger Kadan Young until the end of the season on Monday’s transfer deadline day.

The 20-year-old winger has played for England youth age groups and has scored three goals in four PL2 matches so far this season and picked up an assist in Villa’s 3-2 victory over Red Bull Salzburg in the UEFA Europa League last week.

Young has first team experience on loan in Belgium with Royal Antwerp and has three first-team appearances for his parent club.

Speaking of the signing, Reading manager Leam Richardson said: “Kadan is an exciting young wide player who gives us added depth and real pace in the wide areas.

“He’s someone with excellent character, a strong work ethic, and plenty of potential, and we’re looking forward to working with him during his time with us.”

Meanwhile, second half goals from Jack Marriott and Will Keane earned Reading all three points in their 2-0 League 1 win at Northampton Town last Saturday.

Tomorrow (Saturday) Reading travel to AFC Wimbledon for a 3.01pm kick-off. On Tuesday, Reading are on their travels again when they head north to face Wigan Athletic, kick-off 7.45pm.
