\n The 28-year-old arrives following his departure from Luton Town, where he spent the last three years.\n<\/p>\n
\n The forward also enjoyed a loan spell with Portsmouth last season, joining the Championship side in February.\n<\/p>\n
\n Brown is perhaps best known for his time Stoke City helping secure promotion from League One in 2018\/19 before being named Stoke City’s Player of the Season in 2021\/22.\n<\/p>\n
\n His most prolific campaign came during the 2021\/22 season, when he scored 14 goals for the Potters, including his first of the campaign on the opening day against the Royals.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We’re really pleased to bring Jacob to Reading,” said Leam Richardson.\n<\/p>\n
\n “He’s a player we’ve admired for a long time because he gives you so much. He’s athletic, works incredibly hard for the team, can play in a number of attacking positions and has shown throughout his career that he can score goals at a high level.\n<\/p>\n
\n “As well as his qualities on the pitch, he’s a brilliant character who brings a wealth of experience and will fit into the culture we’re building here. He has played at the top flight, has international experience with Scotland and has a real desire to come here and be part of what we’re trying to achieve.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We’re looking forward to working with him. I know he’ll give absolutely everything for this football club and I’m sure our supporters will enjoy watching him in a Reading shirt.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 28-year-old arrives following his departure from Luton Town, where he spent the last three years.
