Aston Villa midfielder Freya Gregory has joined Barclays Women’s Championship club Reading on a season-long loan deal.
The Royals announced news of the transfer via a post on their official club website this evening.
Gregory has spent the last three seasons with Aston Villa after re-joining the club from Birmingham City in summer 2020. The player has made 19 appearances for the club in the Barclays Women’s Super League, scoring one goal. The youngster has found playing opportunities for The Villans limited and she is moving out on loan to Reading to get regular minutes this season.
After joining The Royals, Gregory said “I had a good conversation with Liam (Gilbert), he’s got big ambitions for the team, and the way he works made this a really attractive opportunity for me.
“I hope to bring goals, assists and help the team in every moment.
“It’s going to be really fun to play in this team, with how the coaches want us to play, and I can’t wait to link-up with the girls and hopefully, we can put on a show for the supporters and have a great season.”
Gregory follows Lulu Jarvis and Caitlin Smith in joining Reading on Transfer Deadline Day.
