Cardiff City has seen former player Andy Rinomhota secure a new deal with Reading after his departure from the club. The midfielder, who spent three years at Cardiff, returned to Reading on a short-term contract in November 2025 following his release. Despite interest from Championship clubs, Rinomhota chose to rejoin Reading, where he initially made his breakthrough in professional football. His previous season was marred by injuries, limiting his appearances for the Royals, but he has now committed to a new one-year deal as Reading aims for promotion in League One. Reading's head coach, Leam Richardson, expressed confidence in Rinomhota's abilities, highlighting his experience and leadership qualities. Rinomhota's journey began at AFC Portchester before he made his mark at Reading, and he has now set his sights on contributing significantly to Reading's campaign after leaving Cardiff City.
