Reading Women open applications for 'expressions of interest' in joining club
Women and girls across Reading have been invited to apply to play for the club next season.
A club steeped in history, regulars in the Women's Super League for over a decade under the management of Kelly Cousins, the side are now in the fifth tier (Southern Region Women's Football League Premier Division.)
This is under the control of the Community Trust, who stepped up after Dai Yongge refused to fund the women's side.
No longer playing out of Reading, the Women play at Slough Town's Arbour Park.
Last season Pedro Bruno's side finished eighth out of 10, winning four of their 18 matches.
Lucy Bolitho won Player of the Season and received her award on the pitch at the SCL Stadium on the final day of the League One season.
If you wish to express an interest in playing, fill in this form attached where you must disclose your current club, previous playing experience and injury history.
The future could be exciting though with news of Rob Couhig's takeover.
Speaking of his plans, the former Wycombe Wanderers chief said: "We're going to want to establish a relationship with the women's team to see what we can do within the economic confines of our overall remit to help them. I want to work with the Trust to see what I can do to assist them."
Wycombe Wanderers Ladies finished second in the same division as Reading last season.
