Reading defender Kelvin Abrefa has signed a new two-year deal with the League One club.

The right-back has been at the Royals since 2017 and made 13 appearances in all competitions last season.

"We’re delighted to secure Kelvin to a new two-year contract," said head of football operations Mark Bowen.

"There was, understandably, plenty of external interest in him so we’re very happy that Kelvin's chosen to continue his development as a Reading Player.”

The Royals will begin their upcoming League One campaign away to Birmingham City on 10 August.

They still remain in discussions with multiple interested buyers as they look to complete the sale of the club to a new ownership.
