Reading striker Jahmari Clarke has returned to the club after injury cut his time at Forest Green Rovers short.

The 19-year-old scored once for the League One bottom club, working under Premier League legend Duncan Ferguson.

Sustaining a tendon injury, it is likely to rule him out for the remainder of the season.

Another injury cut his previous loan spell short, with National League promotion challengers Woking.

Taking to social media, the forward said: "Not the way I wanted it to end at FGR but want to thank all staff and players especially Big Dunc.Also the fans for all the support every game. Now on the journey to get back playing and to become fitter and stronger."

Yet to play a minute in the Championship under Paul Ince, the teenager made an impression under previous boss Veljko Paunovic.

Famously scoring a brace to beat Birmingham City 2-1 last season, he is yet to score another first team goal for the Royals.

He has been a regular for Noel Hunt's Under-21 outfit this campaign and is a Jamaica Under-20 international.
