Academy graduate makes move to the Greek Super League
Reading Football Club can confirm that Nelson Abbey has completed a move to join Greek side Olympiacos for an undisclosed fee.
As our 63rd Academy graduate, the young defender made his first team debut for the Royals in September 2020; just a fortnight after celebrating his 17th birthday, when he came off the bench in a Carabao Cup tie against Luton.
Since then, Nelson has gone on to make 31 first team appearances in all competitions – becoming a first team regular and captaining the side on various occasions this season. Abbey’s performances also earned him a call up to the England Men's Elite League squad in October, making 3 appearances.
Everyone at the club would like to wish Nelson the very best of luck in his career.
