David Meyler departs Reading by mutual consent

Republic of Ireland international David Meyler has departed English Championship club Reading after his contract was cancelled by mutual consent.

The Corkonian joined The Royals from Hull City last summer and after making five appearances departed to League One’s Coventry City in January until the end of the season.

Meyler suffered another blow while with the Sky Blues when he suffered a shoulder injury in his fifth appearance for the club.

The former Cork City, Sunderland and Hull player has won 26 senior international caps for the Republic of Ireland with his last appearance for the Boys in Green coming in the 1-1 friendly draw with Poland last year.
