Harding prepared for Royals exit

The 25-year-old left-back joined the club on loan in January but only made his debut in the win over Derby last Tuesday.The former Leeds man deputised for the injured Chris Armstrong as the Royals ran out 2-0 winners but with Armstrong in-line to return against Norwich on Monday, Harding knows he is likely to be left out."Chris has done a fantastic job this season but I think he took a knock at the weekend and the gaffer didn't want to risk him with a lot of important games coming up," he told the Reading Chronicle."So he gave me the opportunity and I was thankful for that. Whether I play at Norwich is up to the gaffer, but I doubt it."I'm sure he will make the right decision and, as professionals, we will just get on with it."
