Winger leaves Royals for Fratton Park

Portsmouth have signed winger Glen Little on a one-year deal from Reading. Little made just two appearances as a substitute last season due to a troublesome Achilles injury as the Royals suffered relegation from the Premier League. Steve Coppell had been keen to retain the services of the former Burnley wide-man and had expressed his hope that Little would remain at the Madejski Stadium. But Little rejected the club's offer of a new contract and has agreed terms on a switch to join Harry Redknapp at Fratton Park. Reading director of football Nick Hammond told the club's official website: "We offered Glen a new contract, but it appears that the lure of the Premier League and European football proved too strong."
