AFC Wimbledon have signed rookie Reading striker Craig Tanner on loan until the end of the season.
The 20-year-old forward has made five first-team appearances for Reading this season and scored in a Capital One Cup tie against Newport in August. Dons boss Neal Ardley told the club website: "This is when your recruitment list comes into its own. "Last season we covered 250 games and during this campaign so far we've covered around half that number. After speaking to our scouts that cover games for us and looking at the reports again, there was one player who kept coming up and that was Craig. "According to those reports he is one of the best young talents around. We look at different types of players and a young lad is always going to be a bit of a gamble at League Two level. "However, with the qualities and talent that Craig has, we believe he could be an exciting player who can cope with the demands at this level."
