New Reading midfielder Charlie Savage 'can't wait to get started' after sealing a four-year deal.

The 20-year-old son of Robbie Savage made one appearance for the Red Devils and scored once in 15 matches on loan for relegated Forest Green Rovers.

Joining Lewis Wing in signing for the Royals over the weekend, it ends the youngsters 15-year association with the Premier League giants.

"Delighted to sign for Reading for the next four years," he said on social media. "It was great meeting everyone yesterday & can’t wait to get started at this amazing club! See you all soon."

Father Robbie, who played his final professional match at the Madejski Stadium in 2011, labelled the move a 'great opportunity' for his son and asked supporters to 'look after him.'

He could make his first appearance in tomorrow's behind-closed-doors friendly against Queens Park Rangers.

Reading's Head of Football Operations, Mark Bowen, said: "We are delighted to secure Charlie's signature and this represents a big coup for Reading Football Club. His decision to entrust this club with the next stage of his fledgling career speaks volumes about the project we are building here.

"Charlie is a young man who is already beginning to realise his potential and it will be exciting to see him continue to elevate his game under Rubén's guidance. He arrives with bags of talent, with a clear desire to keep learning, and intent on making an impact as a senior footballer at Reading."
