Reading are one of the form sides in the Championship at the moment, with Jose Gomes' side unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions. 

Gomes' men have been hugely impressive in recent weeks, and they could be surprise contenders for a top-six finish this season.

One man that has been a key member of the Royals squad is Omar Richards, who has certainly taken his chance in the first-team under Gomes' guidance.

Richards' strong performances evidently haven't gone unnoticed either, as he received his first international call up.

The left-back was called up to the England under 21's side for their upcoming European qualifiers over the next week.

He'll be hoping to make an impact for the young Lions, as they look to get off to a strong start in their qualifying campaign, which starts with a Turkey on Tuesday.

Plenty of Reading fans were pleased to see the defender's impressive start to the season be rewarded.
