Reading Football Club are delighted to announce that Andy Yiadom, the man crowned ‘Player of the Season’ by our supporters last month, has completed the paperwork on a new three-year contract at the club.
The experienced all-action right-back will now be in blue and white hoops until 2025 and the club now may well have at least one representative at this year’s FIFA World Cup in Qatar when Ghana take on Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay towards the end of the year.
“In Andy we have a player who makes a positive impact on every game in which he plays for this club,” Head of Football Operations, Mark Bowen, commented. “He has a wise head on experienced shoulders and he is a real leader, both on and off the pitch. By putting pen to paper on this long-term deal, I’m very pleased he has committed his future to the club and I am certain he will play an important part in what we hope to achieve next season and beyond.”
Last season, Andy made a total of 38 starts for the Royals, absent for a period only in January when he represented his country in the African Cup of Nations in Cameroon alongside fellow full-back Baba Rahman.
In the fight for Championship survival, he played through the pain barrier with a broken toe for the club’s cause, helping us earn the points we needed to be sure of second tier status with games to spare come the season’s climax.
In total, the former Barnsley skipper has totted up 132 appearances for the club since signing in the summer of 2018, scoring four goals – the most recent of which came in front of a near full house at the Select Car Leasing Stadium when we took on Coventry City in our 150th anniversary match.
Manager Paul Ince said, “Andy epitomised everything we were hoping to see when Alex and I arrived at the club last season – desire, commitment, fight, determination, leadership and a real hunger to win. Defensively and offensively, he has been a fantastic player during the four years he has spent at the club to date and I am delighted he has agreed to be part of what we are trying to build here at Reading.”
