Ghana defender Andy Yiadom handed one-year contract extension at Reading

Reading Football Club have confirmed that club captain Andy Yiadom has agreed a new one year contract to extend his stay with the Royals until 2026.

The Ghanaian international has made over 200 appearances for the Royals having joined in 2018, and will link up with Noel Hunt’s men for a further campaign in RG2.

After enduring an injury hit season in 2024/25, ‘Yids’ is now fit, raring to going, and looking forward to getting back into the blue and white hoops.

Club Chairman, Rob Couhig, commented: “We are truly excited to have Andy extend his career with the Club. The last year of rehabilitation has been difficult.

However, he demonstrated he is a true professional. He worked hard, supported his teammates, and demonstrated a commitment to his craft. He seems ready to go and we are certainly ready to have him helping the club reach its goals. 

First Team Manager, Noel Hunt, commented: “Yids’ impact both on and off the pitch is second to none, and we are delighted to have him signed up for another season.

Last year was tough for him, but he came back strongly in the second half of the season and is back for pre season looking fresh and ready for the fight.”
