Reading City Football Club is delighted to confirm the return of Bobbi Emery to the First Team Squad.

Bobbi is a young and dynamic winger, who brings pace and creativity to Simon Johnson’s attacking options ahead of what promises to be a momentous match in the club’s history.

A graduate of Club Partner John Madejski Academy’s Football Performance Programme, Bobbi first joined the First Team ahead of the 2024/25 season after impressing for our Under-23s the previous year.

Supporters may also remember his standout performances during the 2023/24 FA Youth Cup campaign, where he famously netted a hat-trick in our opening fixture, an emphatic 8-0 victory over Winslow United in the Preliminary Round.

We’re thrilled to have Bobbi back in City colours and can’t wait to see him light up the pitch once again!

We spoke to a jubilant Simon Johnson following Bobbi putting pen-to-paper and here’s what he had to say about the youngsters return: 

“I’m absolutely delighted to have Bobbi back with us. He’s a player who knows what this club is about. He’s hardworking, passionate, and always gives everything for the badge. His quality on the ball and character in the group will be a big boost for us at an important stage of the season. I know he’s hungry to make an impact, and we’re all looking forward to seeing him back out there in City colours.”
