The defender, who most recently played with Turkish side Antalyaspor, said: “It feels fantastic to sign for a club like Reading. The first thing you feel when you come here is that it’s a family environment.
“I’ve been away from English football for a year and had some tough times. Turkey is a fantastic place to go and play football but certain things off the field didn’t allow me to delight in my football.”
Ferdinand returns to England after his spell in Turkey despite being linked with a possible go to Police United in Thailand.

The centre-back, who has not played regularly for almost a year, is unlikely to be ready to play for a couple of weeks.
Crowned heads boss Nigel Adkins said: “I’d like to officially welcome Anton to the club, we’re satisfied to have signed three players in the last few days with him, Simon Cox and Jamie Mackie.
“I know they will all add to what is a very hard-effective group of players.”
