Queens Park Rangers Take Former Reading FC Goalkeeper On Trial

Henly, who has caps for Scotland Under-21s, was let go by Reading after failing to make a first-team appearance in Berkshire having had loan spells at Aldershot and, during the last campaign, Welling United. He was recently turned down by Scottish club Ross County after a short trial.

The R's have just last week sold second-choice goalkeeper Alex McCarthy, another former Royal, and are currently without a back-up to former England shot-stopper Robert Green. Henly played for QPR's development squad in a friendly defeat to Hendon on Monday, officially listed by the West London outfit as a trialist, in a bid to earn a contract at Loftus Road. The 21-year-old got 90 minutes in that game, which was organised as a testimonial for the non-league side's boss Gary McCann.

Whether Henly can force his way into the QPR first-team squad - let alone a contract - remains to be seen. Not many Reading fans would have had this one down as a case of 'the one that got away' but if Chris Ramsey's side can see any potential in the youngster then that may change.

Do you see Jon Henly going on to sign a deal at QPR, or coming back to haunt us? Comment below.
