Kadan Young

Kadan Arrives On Loan.

Reading Football Club are delighted to confirm the signing of Kadan Young, joining on loan from Aston Villa until the end of the season.

A 20-year-old winger who has played for England youth age groups, Young has scored three goals in four PL2 matches so far this season and picked up an assist in Villa’s 3-2 victory over Red Bull Salzburg in the UEFA Europa League last week.

Young has first team experience on loan in Belgium with Royal Antwerp and has three first-team appearances for his parent club.

Pacy, tricky and direct, Kadan will strengthen the Royals for the remainder of the season.

Manager Leam Richardson commented: “Kadan is an exciting young wide player who gives us added depth and real pace in the wide areas. He’s someone with excellent character, a strong work ethic, and plenty of potential, and we’re looking forward to working with him during his time with us.”

Subject to ratification by the football authorities, Kadan is eligible to make his Royals debut on Saturday at AFC Wimbledon.

Played for Villa last week in the Europa League and assisted the winning goal v Red Bull Salzburg. Think I’ll check the highlights out.

Trust he’ll offer what I think we all thought Doyle would be offering.

From my Villa supporting mate

I like him. Set one up in our Europa league win the other night. Think he went on loan to Antwerp last year as well. He's dynamic and held in high regard by Emery.

DK out for rest of season, right?

Anyway, he did a solid job in the European game on Thursday - highlights reel at end of link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj7ljf2U9ik

Strong, tidy on the ball, got an eye for taking players on.

Sounds like the attributes I’d be looking for - only seems to have played a handful of non academy games so be a step up

Who's to say he's any better? Time will tell I suppose, seems we could end up with a surplus of loan players we don't want

Looks okay and will be interesting to see how he does in a much more physical division; the youth game in question appears to be against Birmingham - who are one of the weakest Category One sides this season.

In the European game, the ball did go backwards a lot; I wonder how much of the assist was luck than judgement, as he doesn't appear to look up before crossing.

Seems pace is his main attribute, so seems to be a direct replacement for Kyerewaa.

Don't expect him to hit the ground running like Lisbie would've done, but hopefully it works out for us and it's a very low risk situation for us.

No idea how good he is, but hope people will be patient with him. A player who has barely played professionally won’t be putting in even 7 out of 10 performances every week. Hopefully Daniel K and Williams will be back before too long.

[Delboy]

Can we still loan players out . .?

[blythspartan]

Happy with this signing, although it’s a shame we don’t have anyone in our own academy who can step up.

He looks to be quick, direct and physically strong. Obviously, not the finished article, but he wouldn’t be coming to us if he was.
