Will Still is no longer in contention to become Sunderland head coach this summer
Newcastle United have released former Reading midfielder Jeff Hendrick, with the 32-year-old not featuring for the Magpies for almost three years. Enjoying a successful career for clubs such as Derby County and Burnley, as well as 79 caps for the Republic of Ireland, the energetic midfielder moved to Tyneside in 2020 under Steve Bruce.
Former Reading favourite Garath McCleary has signed a one-year extension with local rivals Wycombe Wanderers. The 37-year-old joined the Royals in 2012 and spent the next eight years in blue and white hoops, making nearly 300 appearances and famously scoring in the club's 2015 FA Cup semi-final. Departing Berkshire during the Covid-19 pandemic, denied a chance to say goodbye to supporters, the winger returned to the SCL Stadium in March and received a standing ovation.
