Reading FC have completed the signing of defender Naby Sarr on a free transfer on a four-year deal.
The 6’6 defender was available on a free transfer after he was released by the Terriers after a two-year spell with the Championship club.
Sarr has been training with the Royals for several weeks ahead of a move that has been delayed by the EFL.
However, after George Puscas sealed a loan move to Genoa, the Royals were able to complete the transfer for Sarr to join the squad.
Paul Ince’s team are under a transfer embargo for the second consecutive season which will limit them to signing only free agents or loan players.
Sarr, who has also played for Lyon, Sporting Lisbon and Charlton Athletic, helped Huddersfield to reach the play-offs final last season before they lost out to Nottingham Forest.
Sarr played 41 times and scored four goals in his first season for the Terriers in 2020/21 and last campaign he made 18 Championship appearances and scored three goals.
His final appearance for Huddersfield came at Wembley in the play-off final where he started the match and completed 57 minutes as the Terriers narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League.
After leaving Huddersfield, Sarr said: “Thank you for welcoming me like family, it’s been two years of great moments and memories I’m grateful thanks for everything and all the best.”
