The 32-year-old missed the majority of last season with an Achilles injury but was offered a new deal by the relegated Royals.

However, Pompey boss Harry Redknapp has made a surprise move for the winger and he has signed a 12-month deal at Fratton Park.

Little told The News: "It's been a mad time for me and I can't believe this has happened. There was talk of it happening for a couple of days but the move took place literally overnight.

"I was happy at Reading but then this offer came up at the last minute. I think they understood this was a great opportunity for me at this stage of my career. To come to a club like Portsmouth is just too good an offer to turn down.

"I can't believe my luck! I've come to a great club, with great players, a brilliant manager and excellent support. I had injury problems last season but I feel fine now and have been training all summer. I'm ready for the new season."
