Why it matters for the Royals
Manager Leam Richardson said: "We are very happy to see Kelvin commit his future to us here at Reading Football Club. He is an extremely hard worker and someone who brings energy to the group both on and off the pitch."
What comes next for Kelvin Abrefa?
The young full-back will look to build on his impressive performances last season, which saw him make 27 appearances and score twice. With the new contract in place, Abrefa will be eager to help the Royals improve on their recent form, which has seen them lose their last two games.
The Royals' last result was a 0-1 defeat to Blackpool on May 2, 2026. They are currently 40 points behind leaders Lincoln in the title race.
