Rumour - Conor Masterson

[Sutekh]

Ramy has confirmed Reading have taken former Liverpool, QPR & Gillingham centre back Conor Masterson on trial. He’s 27 and a former RoI youth international.

He is a free agent after being released by the Gills in June.

So don’t get me wrong I would love for us to be aiming higher but…. If Ward and Oconner are the starting centre backs. Masterson would not be a bad back up and potentially would not block Kanu or Duah in there development. Cheap, seemed reliable enough, good pedigree. Has one player of the season at the Gills before. So a yes from me.
