Reading sign Bozanic

Reading have completed the signing of Australian teenager Oliver Bozanic on a two-and-a-half-year contract.

The left-sided midfielder, 18, has played for his country’s under-20 team and first had a trial with the Royals more than two years ago.

Director of Football Nick Hammond told club website www.readingfc.co.uk: “He is a really gifted left-footed player.

“We’ve been trying hard to identify really talented young players, both on our doorstep and abroad, because there are good opportunities and value for money.”

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Graham Stack has extended his loan with Leeds until the end of the season.
