Working with Rob Couhig again 'a big factor' in new deal says Reading favourite Wing
Reading midfielder Lewis Wing has admitted that the opportunity to work with new owner Rob Couhig was a driving factor behind signing a new contract. The 29-year-old signed a new three-year extension last week, the first new deal signed in the Couhig era after the American ended Dai Yongge's eight-year reign on May 14. Winning Player of the Season in his debut campaign, the former Middlesbrough man has racked up 99 appearances in two years and was regularly captaining the side in the absence of Andy Yiadom. Joining in 2023 after 18 months with Wycombe Wanderers, the fan favourite worked with Couhig and new CEO Joe Jacobson at Adams Park and has admitted that the opportunity to work with them again was appealing. "Ever since I walked through the door, it has felt like home," Wing told the club. "Throughout my career I've missed that, so that was the main reason. "With the new owners coming in, I've worked with them before, and I know how they run a club and how successful they can be so that was a big factor. "Most of all, I want to repay the fans for everything they have done for me in the last two years. I want to continue the journey with them and this football club." There are still 13 futures up in their air this spring, with contracts offered to players set to depart. This includes key men Joel Pereira, Amadou Mbengue and Michael Craig, all who have deals that run up to June 30. Talks remain ongoing as thoughts already turn to next season, with pre-season plans being confirmed in the coming weeks.
