The official portrait of this season's squad
Our first-team group gathered together at Bearwood Park this week for the official squad photo for the 2023-24 season.
There were a number of maiden appearances in the photo - including manager Rubén Sellés and some of his coaching staff, and our new signings too.
All players who have been a member of a matchday squad so far this campaign took part, including lots of young lads that have graduated from our Academy setup to have an impact on first-team affairs.
In total, across the players and staff, there were 24 individuals involved in a Royals' senior squad photo for the very first time! Evidence enough that we're in a stage of transition and constructing a new side for the challenge ahead in League One.
A high-resolution version of the photo is available to download below.
