Reading signs George Earthy from West Ham United for midfield depth

Reading has signed George Earthy from West Ham United on a three-year deal. The 21-year-old attacking midfielder is the club's fifth signing of the summer. Earthy, previously loaned to Bristol City, brings additional creativity to Reading's midfield, addressing a need for options alongside loanee Josh Stokes. He has experience from West Ham's youth levels and made limited first-team appearances, but played significantly for Bristol City. Earthy aims to further develop his attacking contributions after being noted for his potential by former manager Gerhard Struber.
