Reading have signed Dan Harding on loan from Ipswich until the end of the season.

The left sided player was given his league debut back in 2003 when at Brighton under Steve Coppell.

Coppell said of the signing "At a time when the window is coming to a close, Dan will give us that extra element of competition and insurance going into what is a very critical stage of the season.

"He can do a good job for us anywhere on the left hand side of the pitch, and he is a player that I know well."
