Ex-Reading FC players and trialists still involved in senior football
This page shows those ex-Reading players still playing, managing, coaching or administering in senior football or in Scotland, plus those current players that we have sent out on loan.
Unless otherwise stated, the person concerned is a player at the club. This page contains the same information as you can read in the main index of players. (Where a question mark is shown after a player's name, it means that someone of that name is at the club, but I'm not certain if it is the ex-Reading player.)
