Khizanishvili set to leave Reading

ON-LOAN Reading defender Zurab Khizanishvili looks set to depart after director of football Nick Hammond revealed he may move overseas.

The Georgian's contract with Blackburn Rovers expires this summer and Hammond indicated that he is likely to move on.

"We've had discussions with him, and he did very well for us. He has good opportunities available to him overseas so it's unlikely we'll be in a position to move that forward, and we have to be realistic in terms of where we are at as a club," he commented.

Meanwhile, David Mooney is now officially a free agent after being released by Reading.

The 26-year-old striker - who finished as Colchester United's top-goalscorer in 2010/11 with 14 during a season-long loan spell - has struggled to make the breakthrough at the Championship club since coming over from his native Ireland.

Royals boss Brian McDermott has now informed Mooney, as well as Scott Davies, that they can leave the Madejski Stadium.
