The Royals have received confirmation of all paperwork regarding Emerse Fae's season-long loan deal to Nice.

In addition, our young midfield man Scott Davies has signed another season-long deal with Football League newcomers Aldershot Town.

Fae joined the Royals a year ago from French side Nantes, but will spend this campaign back in Ligue 1 on loan.

The 24-year-old Cote D'Ivoire international initially joined for a record fee of £2.5million last summer, but only managed 3(+5) Premier League appearances in a Reading shirt.

20-year-old Davies spent all of last season at Aldershot, and scored nine goals to help them out of the Blue Square Premier in fine fashion.

Scott underwent an ankle operation at the tail end of last season and is only just getting back towards full training.

Our young goalkeeper Ben Hamer will spend the entire season on loan at League Two side Brentford.

Midfield man Tom Hateley spent a two-match trial with Scottish side Hamilton last week.
