Reading FC have announced that they have appointed Brian Carey as the club’s new Director of Recruitment.
His appointment comes as part of a restructure at the hierarchy at the club this summer that has followed the appointment of Paul Ince as permanent first-team manager and Mark Bowen as Head of Football Operations.
Carey joins the Royals after a six-year spell at Premier League Tottenham Hotspur.
He will work closely with Bowen, Ince and Academy Manager Michael Gilkes to bring in new talent to the club.
Bowen said: “Brian is a mad who has experienced it all in football. He has been a player, captain, a coach, an assistant manager, a manager and has recently excelled during six years spent as Head of Recruitment at Spurs.
“He proved the ideal candidate to help the owner, myself and the manager bring in players with ability but who also possess the right character and temperament for our club and have that hunger to succeed and the potential to improve.
“It is a real coup that we have managed to beat off competition to secure the services of a man with his wealth of experience and I’m delighted he has agreed to join us at Reading.”
