Harte hoping to bring career full circle

FORMER Republic of Ireland international Ian Harte is desperate for Reading to avenge his Wembley hurt by beating Cardiff City tonight.

The Royals travel to the Cardiff City Stadium for the second leg of their Championship play-off semi-final following a goalless opening 90 minutes last Friday.

Victory would allow ex-Carlisle United defender Harte to return to the home of English football — 14 months after a humiliating 4-1 Johnstone Paints Trophy final defeat to Southampton.
