LUKE SOUTHWOOD<br />

GOALKEEPER<br />

Age: 24<br />

Nationality: N. Irish<br />

Signed From: Academy<br />

ACADEMY graduate<br />

Luke Southwood has<br />

made the number one<br />

shirt his own this<br />

season, with Brazilian<br />

goalkeeper Rafael<br />

Cabral recently<br />

departing the club<br />

after being restricted<br />

to the bench.<br />

Having joined <strong>Reading</strong> as<br />

a youngster, Southwood<br />

signed his first<br />

professional contract in<br />

2015, but had to wait<br />

another five years to<br />

make his Royals debut.<br />

Loan spells Bath City<br />

and Eastleigh, followed<br />

by a season in the<br />

Scottish Premiership<br />

with Hamilton, gave the<br />

young keeper valuable<br />

playing time and he has<br />

since seized his chance<br />

at <strong>Reading</strong>, as well as<br />

earning a first call-up to<br />

the Northern Ireland<br />

squad in November.<br />

EXPERIENCED central defender<br />

Michael Morrison arrived at<br />

<strong>Reading</strong> in 2019 following a<br />

five-year stint with Birmingham<br />

City, where he made 183<br />

appearances and scored 14 goals.<br />

Having started out at Cambridge<br />

United, Morrison then had spells<br />

at Leicester City, Sheffield<br />

Wednesday and Charlton –<br />

winning promotion to the<br />

Championship with both the<br />

Foxes and the Addicks – before<br />

moving on to St Andrew’s in 2014.<br />

Since joining the Royals,<br />

he has become a key part of their<br />

back line, helping to guide a<br />

relatively young squad and in now<br />

nearing a century of appearances<br />

for the club.<br />
