During his three years at the Madejski Stadium, he made 113 appearances and scored eight goals, as well as skippered the side.
He will now compete with Sean Raggett, Clark Robertson, Connor Ogilvie and Haji Mnoga in a strong central-defensive group at Fratton Park.
Although Ogilvie is presently first-choice left-back, while 20-year-old Mnoga could be sent on another loan to aid his encouraging development.
