Reading FC legend Mikele Leigertwood will be lacing up his boots once again to play for Wokingham & Emmbrook FC this season.

The former midfielder, who is currently the Reading FC under 18’s boss, has agreed to help out the Sumas this season as they begin their Combined Counties Premier North campaign.

Speaking to FootballinBerkshire, Sumas boss Eliot Whitehouse said: “It’s through our Reading links. My first-team coach is the under 16 academy manager there and we got talking with Mikele.

“He was keen to get his boots on again.

“His under 18’s play Saturday morning and he’s said if he’s available then he’ll come and support the club and hopefully play a few games for us.

“He’s been down to training a few times.

“You can see his influence rubbing off on people just with him being there.

“If the opportunity arises and everything works out, we’ll get him on the Lowther Road pitch.”

The 39=year-old joined Reading in 2010 initially on a loan move from Queens Park Rangers.

After his loan spell, he was signed permanently by the Royals and made a huge contribution to help Reading win promotion to the Premier League in the 2011/12 season as they won the Championship.

Leigertwood scored the all important goal that sealed Reading’s promotion in a 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.

He played a key role throughout the promotion winning campaign, playing 41 league games and scoring five league goals.

The central midfielder then played 30 times and scored one goal in the Premier League in 2012/13.

Leigertwood also made 11 international appearances during his professional career for Antigua and Barbuda.
