Reading have confirmed that midfielder Ovie Ejaria has mutually terminated his contract after not being involved for more than a year.

The 26-year-old first arrived back in 2020 and made over 120 appearances for the Royals, but last featured under Paul Ince in November 2022.

Citing personal issues and attitude problems in recent weeks, the former England Under-21 regular has been working with the club to end his contract early for months.

A club statement read: "Ejaria’s contract was due to expire after the end of this current season. However, with injury and fitness problems limiting first-team action of late and a desire from the club to reduce its expenditure, an agreement was amicably reached for Ovie to leave the club early. "

On his day, Ejaria was among the most technically gifted player in the Football League.
