Reading have signed midfielder Charlie Adam on a one-year deal. The 33-year-old was released by Stoke at the end of last season and had been training at Blackburn during pre-season. But the former Scotland international, who has also featured for Rangers, Liverpool and Blackpool, has opted to join the Royals for the 2019-20 Championship season. He will train with his new team-mates for the first time on Tuesday. He tweeted: “Thanks to Tony Mowbray and everyone at @Rovers for allowing me to train with them for the past few weeks. “Was great to play and score a few goals. I wish them all the best this season. I’m now ready for my next challenge.” Reading chief executive Nigel Howe said: “A player with both Championship and Premier League experience, not to mention pedigree at European and international level, Charlie Adam can play a very valuable role within what is a relatively young first-team squad at Reading.” Topics Charlie Adam, Championship, Reading Charlie Adam to leave Stoke after seven years Adam: Kazakhstan defeat not sacking offence for McLeish The 10 greatest seasons by players newly promoted to the Premier League Bournemouth snap up Federici Rodri confident he can add a physical edge to Manchester City British players who have moved to the Bundesliga Vela ready for ‘fresh challenge’ to his career after suffering Bolton misery Butt named as head of first-team development by Manchester United It’s not all doom and gloom for St Mirren – Ryan Flynn Tottenham set to complete £80 million double signing of Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon this week 28 red hot fantasy football tips Real Madrid offer whopping Gareth Bale-plus-cash deal in bid to sign Neymar – report 7 intriguing transfers that have gone under the radar this summer Ranked!
