Sam Sodje has agreed to join League One promotion chasers Leeds United on a one-month loan deal.

Samhas been back to full fitness for a few weeks now, and has been getting regular football for our reserves.

He scored for the second string in a 4-0 win over Southampton on Wednesday afternoon, and Leeds boss Simon Grayson has decided to add him to his squad for their final push for promotion out of League One.

Royals Director Of Football Nick Hammond says the move is a good opportunity for Sam, telling readingfc.co.uk, "He has worked very hard to get back from his injury problems.

"This is a great opportunity for him to go and play games between now and the end of the season at a big club."

As of 1:45pm, the Club do not expect any more loan deals to take place before today's 5pm deadline.

There have not been many loan deals so far in the Championship, although ex-Reading keeper Graham Stack has gone to Wolves from Plymouth until the end of the season.
