New Reading Women FC signing Brooke Chaplen is excited to be full time with the Royals.

"Reading have actually taken that step and progressed and transitioned over the last couple of years and I think this is the year where it all comes together.

"I've played with Becky [Jane] at Chelsea, and I've played with Kirsty McGee back at the very start of my career at Portsmouth.

"Not many players love pre-season, there's lots of running and a little less ball work than you would like, but everyone is working hard together and looking forward to when the game start."
