Reading Rockets are delighted to confirm that guard Yusef Salih will return to the club for the 2026/27 season.
Yusef made an immediate impact after joining the Rockets during the 2025/26 campaign, bringing pace, composure and another scoring option to the backcourt.
Across 20 appearances, he averaged 10.8 points, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steal per game, while playing just under 22 minutes per contest. He also connected on 34.3% of his three-point attempts and produced several important performances during the closing stages of the season.
His ability to create his own shot, attack defenders and contribute at both ends of the court made him a valuable part of the Rockets squad.
With another season in Reading ahead of him, Yusef will be looking to build on that strong first year and help the team compete for more success in 2026/27.
Welcome back to the Rockets family, Yusef!
