Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Adam Le Fondre has admitted that he would ‘love’ to return to Reading for a second spell. Speaking to Get Reading after the 0-0 where both sides met at the Madejski Stadium, ‘Alfie’ says that he thoroughly enjoyed his first spell with the club.
The former fans’ favourite only left the Royals in 2014 in the first place because an unsettled tax bill needed to be paid off. He moved to Cardiff City but failed to settle in Wales, leading to a loan move to Bolton last season and is now on loan at Molineux.
Saturday’s trip to Berkshire was the first time Le Fondre returned to the club since he left and conceded it was an emotional moment for him. He went on to say that he would never rule out returning to a club he holds in the highest regard,
“I would love it (to return to Reading one day).
“I had three magnificent years there that I consider the most successful years of my career.
“So never say never – in football you never know what the future holds.”
He isn’t exactly regular under Kenny Jackett at this moment in time either. It is only really because of injuries why he has enjoyed more game-time in recent times, plus the sale of Benik Afobe to AFC Bournemouth has played a part. He is expected to return to Cardiff at the end of his loan spell, where his contract is up, leaving his future in the air. Perhaps a return to Reading under former boss Brian McDermott is very much his number one choice.
