Ex-West Brom and Wolves player Roberts to join Reading

Former West Bromwich Albion and Wolves striker Jason Roberts was today poised to leave Blackburn to join Championship side Reading.

The 34-year-old was reportedly heading for a medical with the Royals after deciding to leave Ewood Park.

Roberts has been frozen out of the Rovers team in recent weeks, reportedly because of a clause in his contract that meant another appearance would trigger an automatic contract extension.

Meanwhile, QPR this afternoon completed the signing of Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha.

The 25-year-old has signed a four-and-a-half year deal at Loftus Road.
