Reading FC has announced that they have signed former Rangers player Brandon Barker until the end of the season.
Barker had been on trial with the Royals and has been signed up on a deal until the end of the 2021/22 season after impressing.
Reading manager Veljko Paunovic said: “I am very pleased to welcome Brandon to Reading on a three month contract that is the right opportunity for both the player and the club.
“During his time training with us at Bearwood Park, he has shown us his ability, his hunger and the positive attitude he can bring to the squad for the final three months of the season and I am looking forward to integrating him quickly into our squad.
The 25-year-old former Manchester City academy graduate has experience at Championship level having played 16 times for Preston North End during a loan spell in 2018/19.
He made 16 SPL appearances for Rangers in three years at the club, scoring three league goals and also had a loan spell in 2021 with League One Oxford United where he scored three times in 19 matches.
He has represented England at Under 18’s, 19’s and 20’s level.
Barker left Rangers by mutual consent last month and now joins the Royals.
