KARLEIGH Osborne's move to Reading has fallen through due to doubts over the defender's fitness.

Brentford granted the Royals permission to speak to the player yesterday after agreeing a fee for the 23-year-old.

Osborne had thrashed out personal terms with the Championship club, only for Reading to pull the plug on the deal as the centre-back hasn't fully recovered from a leg injury.

The Bees youth-team graduate now looks set to stay at Griffin Park until his contract expires in the summer with just days of the transfer window remaining.
