Done Deal : Chelsea Loan Out United States International To Reading

Published: July 24, 2019

EFL Championship outfit Reading have announced the capture of United States international Matt Miazga on a season-long loan from Chelsea.

The defender is returning to the Madejski Stadium after a successful loan spell at the club last season.

A product of New York Red Bulls, Miazga was part of the United States squad that reached the CONCACAF Gold Cup final a fortnight ago and was eligible to play for Poland before he became cap-tied to the Americans.

Commenting on the deal, Nigel Howe, CEO of Reading FC, said: ''Even as a player at the early stage of his career, Matt showed last season that he has a mature head on young shoulders and plenty to offer the squad both on and off the pitch.

''I am pleased that he has been keen to return to Reading and I look forward to seeing his contribution for the Royals in the coming season.''

Matt Miazga, who joined Chelsea in 2016, has played two competitive matches for their first team.
