It’s a numbers game!

The Royals have confirmed squad numbers for our two new signings, Ian Harte and Zurab Kizhanishvili.


Harte will take the number 23 shirt previously worn by Grzegorz Rasiak. The shirt has a high turn over with the likes of Andre Bikey, Ullises De La Cruz, Chris Makin and John Mackie previous players to have worn the shirt in the past.


Zurab Kizhanishvili will take the number 15 shirt that has been vacant since James Harper left last summer, with his favoured number 13 shirt of course taken by ‘Reading Fans’. He wore the number 44 shirt in his spell last season but that is now taken by young defender Danny Joyce.
