Reading FC have confirmed that they have made new coaching appointments for the under 21 and under 18s sides.
The Royals have been without an under 21s manager since Noel Hunt made the step up to take over the first-team when Ruben Selles departed the club in December.
Hunt was the under 21s manager from 2022 and helped the side to reach the semi-final of the Premier League 2 play-offs last season.
The Royals have now appointed Peter Scott has taken over as under 21s manager, while Harrison Gilkes will take charge of the under 18s.
Academy Manager Michael Gilkes said: “We are delighted both Peter and Harrison have agreed to take over the roles leading our Under 21 and Under 18 teams.
“Peter has been a mainstay in our Academy for over 25 years, and recently worked alongside Noel in the Under 21 side that performed so well in 2023/24 – many of the players having now become established First Team regulars this campaign.
“Harrison has worked within the Academy for over five years and exemplifies the fabric of what we want to produce in not just our players, but our staff members too. He will build on the fantastic foundation created by Mikele as we continue forging the pathway to success for our players.”
