”We’re really pleased to bring Josh to Reading. He’s a player we’ve followed for some time and one we believe has the qualities to make a real impact for us.
”He’s creative, positive in possession and has the ability to unlock defences, whether that’s with a pass, by carrying the ball or by contributing goals himself. He’s already shown what he can do in League One and at 22, we feel there’s still plenty more to come from him.
“Just as importantly, he’s got a fantastic attitude. He wants to improve, he’s hungry to work every day and he’s fully bought into what we’re trying to build here. We’re looking forward to working with him and helping him take the next steps in his career.”
