What happened: Midfielder Andy Rinomhota has signed a new one-year contract to remain with Reading through the 2026-27 season. The 29-year-old midfielder returned to the club in November 2025 and has now secured his long-term future at the Madejski Stadium.

Why it matters: The extension provides Reading with vital veteran experience as they look to build on a stable mid-table finish. After ending the 2025-26 campaign in 12th place, the club is prioritizing squad continuity to avoid the relegation struggles of previous seasons.

What to watch: Rinomhota will join the first team for a full preseason training block starting next month. The club is expected to announce further roster updates as they finalize their squad for the upcoming campaign.
