Wycombe sign Reach for rest of season

Adam Reach played his final game for West Brom against Southampton in last season's Championship play-offs

Promotion-chasing Wycombe Wanderers have signed free-agent winger Adam Reach on a deal to the end of the season.

The 32-year-old has been without a club since leaving West Bromwich Albion in the summer after making 19 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign.

He began his career at Middlesbrough and later played 209 league games for Sheffield Wednesday, scoring 21 goals.

"Adam is a player of vast experience which will be vital for us in achieving our objective this season and we're really pleased to welcome him to the club," said chief football officer Dan Rice.

"He carries a real goal threat in attacking positions but is also capable of playing deeper and at full-back so to have someone of his versatility will be a big help to the team."

Reach could make his debut in Saturday's fourth round FA Cup tie at Preston, one of his former clubs.

Wycombe have appointed former Sunderland assistant head coach Mike Dodds as their new boss and he will take up his new role on Thursday.

Reach's arrival follows the signings of defenders Sonny Bradley and Anders Hagelskjaer, midfielders Alex Lowry and Magnus Westergaard and winger James Berry during the transfer window.

The Chairboys have also brought back Caleb Taylor from West Bromwich Albion for a second loan spell.

They are second in League One, four points behind Birmingham City, having played two games more, but five clear of Wrexham in third place.
