Former AFC Portchester midfielder Andy Rinomhota brings up appearance milestone at Reading

The 23-year-old, who came through the age groups at the Crest Finance Stadium, made his 100th Royals appearance in his side's 3-0 victory against Coventry at the Madjeski Stadium earlier this week.

It's a remarkable achievement by Rinomhota when you consider he was plucked from the ninth tier six years ago.

Since winning a deal following a successful two-week trial in 2015, the ex-Portchester man has become an integral player at the Madjeski.

A number of fine performances in the 2018/19 season saw him win the club's player of the year award as they avoided relegation to League One.

Current boss Veljko Paunovic is the SIXTH manager he's work under since moving to the club.

Rinomhota's remained a mainstay in the past few seasons, however, and has featured in all 24 of Reading's Championship matches this term.

All involved at Portchester were sure to be bursting with pride to see him reach the milestone earlier this week and will be hoping he goes onto to make many more Football League appearances.
