Cottagers boss wanted more in second half of the season
Outgoing Sunderland midfielder Corry Evans has been restored to the Northern Ireland squad along with his brother, Jonny.
Reading youngster Shandon Baptiste is available on the free transfer market after his release by Premier League side, Brentford. 26-year-old Baptise, raised in Tilehurst, was a student at Denefield School and had eight years in the Royals youth teams. Released a decade ago for being deemed 'too short', the midfielder made his name with Oxford United before earning a move to Brentford in 2020.
