A statement released by the club stated that “Rick Catania and Alec Lundberg will serve as Reading Women’s Cooperative Managers, helping to oversee the strategic development and growth of the women’s and girls’ program as it returns to the broader soccer club.”
The club can also confirm that Women’s First Team Manager Ed Jackson-Norris and Head of Women’s and Girls’ Football Emma Hopkins will remain in their current roles as part of the new structure, continuing the work that has helped maintain and develop the program in recent years.”
Reading Football Club was one of the first professional clubs in the country – even before Arsenal – to bring an all-Women’s game to its main venue in 2020 following the departure of London Irish Rugby Club to Brentford.

Later, the team played in the FA WSL top tier and featured Fara Williams, Danielle Carter and Rachel Rowe, as well as soon, Welsh legend Jesse Fishlock.
In 2024, it was confirmed that Reading would be relegated to the fifth tier despite surviving a relegation battle in WSL 2. Reading FC Community Trust took over management of the team and games have been played at Slough Town’s Arbor Park for the last two seasons in the Southern Region Women’s League Premier Division.
Football in Berkshire contacted Reading Football Club about where the team would play when not at Select Car Leasing Stadium. A spokesperson told us there will be an announcement in due course regarding the team’s home ground.
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
