Reading FC will face up against a former Premier League player next month when they face non-league Harborough Town in the FA Cup.

Having seen off Fleetwood Town in the first-round, the Royals were drawn to face Harborough at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.

Harborough play at Step 3 of the National League system in the Southern League Premier Central which is the 7th tier of English football.

Gearing up for the big game next month, Harborough have recruited a former Premier League player and Brazil international.

Sandro Ranier has come out of retirement to play for the non-league team.

Sandro spent several years playing in the Premier League, first joining Tottenham in 2010 where he made more than 80 league appearances in four years before playing for Queens Park Rangers for three years, as well as a loan spell with West Brom.
