Former Reading youngster David Nyarko has made a bold move to Sweden after impressing in non-league with Thatcham Town.
The 21-year-old regularly impressed for the Royals youth teams during a five-year stay, including 15 goal contributions in 31 appearances for the Under-18s, but never made a first-team appearance and spent time on loan with the likes of Kingstonian and Weymouth.
Nyarko had an impressive loan spell with the Kingfishers last season, scoring six goals in five games, and returned in the summer on a permanent deal after his release from Reading.

In total, the forward has netted 16 goals in 23 appearances for the 2018 FA Vase winners.
However, his form in Isthmian South Central Division has not gone unnoticed, and Swedish fourth-tier outfit Grebbestads IF have picked up the striker.
He becomes the latest Royals Academy star to be learning their trade abroad, joining the likes of Danny Loader, Jordan Holsgrove and Nelson Abbey.
