Royals players plying their trade out on loan are continuing to impress, after another successful weekend for some of Reading's young stars.
Midfielder Scott Davies bagged two spectacular goals for Wycombe Wanderers, including a 40-yard free kick, whilst James Henry also sampled set-piece glory with a last minute winner in Millwall's 2-1 win over Colchester United.
Michail Antonio has now extended his loan spell with Southampton until the start of January, and is eligible to play in the FA Cup.
Elsewhere a number of scholars from the Royals academy have begun work experience spells in an effort to further their footballing education.
James Rowe and Andrew White both started for Basingstoke Town in their narrow defeat to Newport County, whilst Alex Stockinger played an hour for Didcot Town as they picked up a thrilling 5-3 away win over Leamington.
Michael Hector has been in action for Bracknell Town and Harry Harding is training with Blue Square South outfit Bromley FC.
Simon Cox has made a switch to Aldershot Town, though under the terms of his work experience deal will not be able to play for the Shots first team.
Only scholars who undertake work experience at a club outside of the Football League are eligible for first team football.
We will continue to provide updates on the progress of our youngsters throughout their educational spells.
