Having come in as Ruben Selles' replacement back in early December of last year, manager Noel Hunt continues his own preparations for the 2025/26 League One campaign that lies ahead and after a pretty good end to last season where we narrowly saw the Royals miss out on a possible Play Off run, the 42 year old former professional striker will be looking to hopefully go one step further at this time of asking and show further small improvements that boost our consistency so we can all achieve the success that we want.
It has already been quite a busy summer transfer window of change as Hunt gears up for his first full season in charge and we have seen the arrivals of Paudie O'Connor and Jack Stevens on permanent deals, whilst Matty Jacobs, Finley Burns and Mark O'Mahony have headed in on loan deals, and with five new faces under the new ownership of Rob Couhig, Hunt is adamant that he is no where near finishing his rebuild just yet.
This will be great news for fans who like a flutter with the odds it will help foster, but with online gaming like

Hunt was quite clear that he would very much like to see at least another six or seven come through the doors before we hit deadline day, and whilst obviously they may not all be fresh faces and some will likely be players now out of contract who sign extended terms, hopefully such as forward Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan, it is certainly an ambitious project as we finally look towards a brighter future.
Fans will know themselves that there is already a new air of optimism around the club as we look forward to really starting a new chapter following all the troubles we faced under former owner Dai Yongge, but in many ways this year is not just about trying to push on and maybe enjoy a Play Off run, it is about rebuilding proper foundations so that the club can consolidate, become more stable and make all the changes that it needs to, and that applies to on and off the pitch and Hunt himself knows that whatever next season may ultimately bring for the fans, this will not happen overnight we are just making the fundamental steps on a long term plan that will take us into the future.
On Tuesday morning Hunt confirmed that another step had been made as we had secured the signing of free agent Daniel Kyerewaa following the expiration of his contract with German Bundesliga second tier side Preussen Munster.
The 23 year old attacking midfielder came through the youth ranks of Fortuna Dusseldorf before making his name in Schalke 04's B team set up, and then moving to Munster in 2023 where he has continued to impress, especially with is versatility, and he now has well over 100 appearances to his name as his experience comes through and he has continued his development as a player, which has also included working on his eye for goal.
Having put pen to paper on a two year deal with us, Hunt clearly sees him as project for the future and he remains convinced that he will make a 'big impact' with us once he settles, so it will be interesting to see how he progresses now as although he is a roll of the dice on a roulette wheel at
