Reading have announced that seven youth stars have penned new long-term contracts ahead of the new 2022/23 campaign.

Following suit of the likes of Louie Holzman and Jeriel Dorsett: Mamadi Camara, Rashawn Scott, Nelson Abbey, Matt Rowley, Sam Paul, Benjamin Purcell and Claudio Osorio have all signed on with the Royals.

Despite having only less than 15 first team appearances between them, the teenagers were all regulars for the Under-23s and the victorious Berks and Bucks Cup squad- with most frequently appearing on the bench for Veljko Paunovic and Paul Ince squads.

This comes alongside the likes of Tom Holmes and andy Yiadom signing deals with the first team, although Andy Rinomhota and Femi Azeez are yet to put pen to paper.

Pre-season training is already well under way, with just a week until the opening fixture against Colchester United.
