YAKUBU SIGNS SHORT TERM CONTRACT WITH READING FC

Reading have completed the signing of former Everton and Middlesbrough striker Yakubu on a short-term deal.

Now 32, the ex-Nigeria international had been plying his trade in Qatar with Al Rayyan, but was available to Reading boss Steve Clarke as a free agent.

Upon signing, the new Reading forward commented: 'The Yak arrives in Reading, I'm ready to go, I'm ready to give everything, come on the Yak, we're ready to go.'
