Glen Little has completed his free transfer move from Burnley.The right winger has signed a 3 year deal at the Madejski Stadium after a meeting with Royals Chairman John Madejski.Little is expected to be the 1st of 4 summer signing's. Glen Little will become a Reading player on the 1st July after signing a 3 year deal at the Madejski Stadium.The right winger was out of contract at Burnley and has decided to move back down South after 7 years at Burnley.

This is Little's 2nd spell with the Royals after joining Alan Pardew's squad for 3 months on-loan towards the end of the 2002-2003 season. This was a move that angered many Burnley fans.Little scored only once,in a 2-1 win over already relegated Grimsby Town.He appeared to a useful player in his time here.Little was used in a few positions's which included left wing,as a striker and in his natural right winger slot.

Little was one of the big earners at Burnley and played over 300 times for the Clarets in a 7 year spell.He has worked with boss Steve Coppell before,when he was a trainee at Crystal Palace.

Little's future was pretty much decided after Burnley decided not to renew the contract of Manager Stan Ternant and his assistant Sam Ellis,now the assistant to Kevin Blackwell at Leeds United.Burnley yesterday appointed Steve Cotterill as their new Manager,on a 3 year deal.

Little is expected to be the 1st of maybe 4 new signing's at the Madejski Stadium.Other targets include Crystal Palace duo Tommy Black and Darren Powell,and the out of contract Dean Gordon.
