Reading 2025/26 Rookie of the Season Nominees

Voting is now open for Reading's 2025/26 Rookie of the Season, though the shortlist has dwindled to just two candidates. This marks a significant drop compared to previous seasons, with critics pointing to a lack of trust from manager Leam Richardson in young talent. raccoongame.org

John Ryan is one of the nominees, having made six appearances this season with an average rating of 6.3/10. The young Irishman earned five starts at left-back during cup competitions but has been sidelined by injury since December.
