Andy Yiadom

Andrew Kyere Yiadom (born 2 December 1991) is a professional footballer who plays as a right back or right midfielder for EFL League One club Reading.

[5] He started his career in the youth team of Watford but wasn't offered a professional contract at the end of his scholarship.

Yiadom became popular with fans for his pace, which he used to good effect on the wing, where he posed a threat to many opposition teams.

Similar to Mark Byrne, Yiadom was used at times as a replacement right back following injuries and suspensions to first choice Barry Fuller.

His impressive performance earned him a spot in the Barnet line-up on the final match of the season against Northampton Town, though in his unnatural position of right back, with new signing Keanu Marsh-Brown being preferred to start on the right wing.

[16] On 10 August 2017, after rejecting two bids from Premier League club Huddersfield Town, Barnsley agreed a fee with Huddersfield (believed to be around £3 million) for the signing with the player to undertake a medical to complete the move,[17] However, on 18 August 2017, the move collapsed and Yiadom returned to Barnsley.
