Harvey Knibbs has sent a farewell message to Reading FC supporters after he completed his transfer to Championship side Charlton Athletic.
The Royals received a reported fee in the region of £1.8million for the midfielder who they signed on a free transfer from Cambridge United two years ago.
Having played 100 games in Reading colours, Knibbs said goodbye to the fans.
He said: “Although it wasn’t the project I originally signed up for, this club and fanbase gave me more than I could have ever imagined.
“From day one, you made me feel like one of your own, and I hope I showed the same love and passion every time I wore the shirt.
“Through all the challenges – on and off the pitch – we built a bond as players, staff and supporters that led to some of the most enjoyable moments of my career.
“I’ll always look back on my time at Reading with pride and gratitude for everyone I was fortunate enough to share the journey with and although this may feel like a goodbye, it’s really just the end of a chapter I’ll always carry with me.”
