Andy Rinomhota has re-joined Reading until the end of the current season after leaving his previous club Cardiff City when his contract expired in the summer.

Rinomhota has only previously played Championship football - for Reading, Cardiff City and Rotherham United and drops down a division hoping to find some of his previous form at his first professional club. After making his breakthrough at Reading in the 2018/2019 season he went on to make 139 appearances, scoring four times, before a move to Cardiff in the summer of 2021. He was initially a regular for the the Bluebirds until struggling to secure a first team starting place the following season, which led to him going out to Rotherham United on loan from February 2024 until the end of the season where he played 16 times.

Having worked his way up through the youth teams at Reading before success for the first team he remains a well known and popular player who will be widely welcomed back. Rinomhota was voted Reading's player of the season in the 2018/2019 season and won the same award for Cardiff in the 2024/25 season before his contract was not renewed after the club were relegated to League One.
