Reading FC has successfully signed Andy Rinomhota to a new one-year deal as they prepare for the upcoming League One season. The midfielder returned to the Select Car Leasing Stadium on a short-term contract in November 2025 after being released by Cardiff City. Despite interest from Championship side Sheffield Wednesday, Rinomhota chose to make an emotional return to Reading, where he began his professional career. Last season, he faced challenges with injuries, limiting his appearances to just three matches. However, Reading's management believes he has the potential to contribute significantly to their promotion ambitions. Manager Leam Richardson expressed confidence in Rinomhota's abilities, highlighting his experience and understanding of the club's culture. The midfielder's journey began at AFC Portchester before making his senior debut for Reading in 2017, where he accumulated 139 appearances before his stint at Cardiff. Rinomhota's commitment to Reading is evident, and fans are eager to see how he will perform with a full pre-season ahead of him.
