The Chelsea youth product played more than 200 times in six years with the Royals, but moved to the Hawthorns after his contract expired at the end of the season.

Enjoying his most productive campaign last time out, he scored 11 and assisted 13 as Paul Ince's side survived in the Championship despite a points deduction and transfer embargo.

His next best year was his debut one in which he found the net nine times on route to the Championship play-off final.

Signing for three years in the West Midlands, he told the official club website that he wants to "help push this team forward."

“I managed to get quite a few goals and assists last season at Reading and I’m focused on making sure I have another season where I manage to get plenty of both again," he started.

“You always want to try and improve as a player and I believe playing for Albion will help me do that. I want to be a player who can help push this team forward and create plenty of opportunities in the final third of the pitch. 

“I’m really excited to come into this team and try to help it score more goals. When you look at the squad, there are some really good players here and I’m looking forward to the challenge of fighting all season for a shot at promotion.”
