Ex-Nigerian international returns to England, joins Reading on short deal

Former Middlesborough, Portsmouth and Everton striker, Yakubu Aiyegbeni has returned to England.

Nicknamed the Yak, the ex-Nigerian international spent the last seasons at Qatari club Al Rayyan.

'The Yak arrives in Reading, I'm ready to go, I'm ready to give everything, come on the Yak, we're ready to go,' the Yak said on arrival at Steve Clarke's side.

He left as a free agent and becomes Reading's third incoming player after Chelsea starlet Nathaniel Chalobah and Slovenian left-back Jure Travner.
