Former Reading favourite to become free agent after League One relegation
|
|
'Here we go, Super Luke Southwood in goal' went the chant as goalkeeper Southwood rose through the ranks in Reading before nailing down the number one shirt in 2021/22. Spending eight years under contract in Berkshire, the Northern Ireland international only managed 30 appearances in the blue and white hoops. Enjoying a successful season on loan with Cheltenham Town in 2022/23, featuring in every League One fixture, the 26-year-old joined them permanently last season.
