Antonio, a right-sided winger, has enjoyed appearances for the Royals' reserve team of late and arrives on a month-long agreement.[LNB]Left-sided winger Bignall, who is also 18, has already enjoyed a steady start to life at Whaddon Road, making five appearances in total, although last weekend's disappointing 3-2 defeat at the hands of Hereford saw him leave the pitch early with an eye injury.[LNB]"Reading have agreed for him to come to us for another month and I'm very grateful to them for that," manager Martin Allen told the club's official website.[LNB]"He has shown on a couple of occasions that he has the pace to get in behind people. He's only young but he has that pace, he plays on the left side where we are a bit short of pace going forward so I'm really pleased to have him here for another month."[LNB]He added: "I am very grateful to Reading FC as we are not having to pay any wages for either player."[LNB][LNB]
