READING. Aug 28 (SW) – Newly promoted Reading have taken Cameroon international Andre Bikey on loan.

The 21-year-old has joined the Royals from Lokomotiv Moscow after training with the team throughout the pre-season, with the club having the option to make the move permanent at the end of the season.

“He did well in Sweden (pre-season) until he blotted his copybook by getting sent off in the last game, but we feel that happened because he was so determined to impress,” said manager Steve Coppell.

“He's a Cameroon international with good experience so we hope he takes the opportunity and plays a full role in our season.”
