Thomas Henry Alex "Hal" Robson-Kanu (born 21 May 1989) is a Welsh international footballer who plays professionally for Reading as a winger.

Club career

Reading

Born in Acton, Greater London, Robson-Kanu began his career at Arsenal as schoolboy aged 10.[2] He was released by Arsenal at 15 and joined Reading after speaking to then Academy manager Brendan Rodgers. He joined Southend United on loan on 30 January 2008, until the end of the 2007–08 season, where he scored three goals in eight games.[3] He scored a goal in a 9–0 win over Didcot Town in the pre-season. He rejoined Southend on a month's loan on 21 August.[4] On 26 January he joined Swindon Town on a one month loan[5] which, after six games, was extended for a further month.[6] During the first game of Reading's 2009 pre-season tour of Sweden, Robson-Kanu scored a hat-trick against Jonsereds IF in just 28 minutes.[7]

International career

Having previously represented England at under-19 level, Robson-Kanu made his debut for the Wales under-21 squad in a friendly match against Austria on 18 May 2010,[8] qualifying through his Welsh grandmother. He made his debut for the Wales senior team just five days later in a 2–0 defeat to Croatia at the Stadion Gradski.[9] He scored his first senior international goal on 22 March 2013 in a 2–1 World Cup qualifying win over Scotland at Hampden Park.[10]
