Former Everton and Portsmouth striker Yakubu Ayegbeni has signed for Steve Clarke's Reading today.

The Royals have signed the 32 year-old Nigerian to the end of the season.

Clarke said, "An experienced goalscorer, Yakubu brings a fantastic scoring record to this club and his addition will complement the strikers we've already got at Reading and help us to improve as a team in latter stages of the season.

"I know all about him as a player and I have heard very good reports about him as a personality in the dressing room. He is no-risk signing for us and I look forward to him scoring goals for Reading Football Club."
