FAMILIAR FACE:<br />

MIKELE<br />

LEIGERTWOOD<br />

Midfielder Mikele Leigertwood featured in successive<br />

Championship-winning seasons, playing for QPR in 2010/11<br />

before moving to <strong>Reading</strong> and matching that achievement a year<br />

later.<br />

Leigertwood, who began his career at Wimbledon, won promotion to<br />

the Premier League with Crystal Palace before moving on to Sheffield<br />

United and then <strong>Rangers</strong> in a £900,000 deal in August 2007.<br />

During his three and a half years with the Hoops, he was also deployed<br />

in central defence and at right-back, finding the net 12 times in 131<br />

games prior to joining <strong>Reading</strong>, initially on loan.<br />

The Royals signed Leigertwood on a permanent deal at the end of the<br />

2010/11 season and he went on to score the goal that sealed their<br />

promotion a year later, eventually retiring due to injury in 2014. He<br />

returned to the club two years later as Academy loan manager.<br />
