Mali international midfielder who signed from Boavista in the summer of 2007.
The Royals paid just under one million Euros to secure his signature from the Portuguese side, and he penned a three-year deal.
He started his career with Toulouse, then joined Estoril before his two years with Boavista. Made his debut in the 2-1 defeat at home to Chelsea in August, where two cautions earned him a sending-off.
He was a regular member of our squad throughout his first campaign, mainly lining up in the centre of midfield but also playing at centre back on occasion, including one man of the match display against Manchester United.
