Reading have signed Cameroon international defender Andre Bikey on a season-long loan from Lokomotiv Moscow. Bikey, 21, had been on trail with the club during pre-season when his chances of joining permanently suffered a setback after a sending-off.
"He did well in Sweden until he blotted his copybook by getting sent off in the last game," Royals boss Steve
Coppell told his club`s website.
"But we feel that happened because he was so determined to impress."
He added: "He`s a Cameroon international with good experience so we hopes he takes the opportunity and plays a full role in our season."
Reading have the option to sign the player permanently depending on how he fares during the season.
