Reading academy graduate Angus MacDonald has been given the all clear from bowel cancer.
The 27-yeard old was diagnosed with the early stages of bowel cancer in August, but has now completed a successful treatment course.
In a statement on the club website, MacDonald's current club Hull City wrote: "Everyone at the Club would like to express their happiness at this fantastic news.
"Angus has shown tremendous courage and strength of character during the most challenging of periods.
"We would like to wish him and his family and friends a wonderful Christmas and we all look forward to seeing Angus back in and around the Club."
