Ghanaian teenagers sign first pro contract with English Championship side Reading

 

Ghanaian youngsters Lynford Sackey and Malachi Talent-Aryeetey have signed their first professional contracts with English Championship side Reading.

The pair were among seven players handed deals at the Club after impressing with the youth side.

Sackey and Talent-Aryeetey pitched themselves in the eyes of the managers at the Club who decided to hand them professional contracts.

Sackey, 18, contract comes on the back of a season in which he too made his first team debut, coming off the bench in the 70th-minute during our Carabao Cup Round Two meeting with Luton Town.

Promising midfielder Talent-Aryeetey is the final member of the seven to also agree a new one-year deal, his first senior contract with the club. Making 16 appearances for our U18s last term, like Collins, Malachi will step up into the U23s fold this year, having made one appearance for Ali’s side last season.
