The 20-year-old goalkeeper returns to St James Park on a season long loan after an impressive loan spell with the club last season, bringing further quality and familiarity to Andy Whing's squad ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.

A product of Reading's academy, Rhone has continued his development with the Royals and was recently rewarded with a new contract after impressing throughout the 2025/26 season. He now returns to Brackley having already gained valuable senior experience during his first spell with the Saints, where he quickly established himself as a popular figure with supporters.

Speaking after completing his return to the Saints, Rhone said:
"The ambitions for this season are really promising, and it's something I want to be part of. There are a lot of new players coming in and I can't wait to meet them, but the staff, the fans and everyone around the club made it an easy decision to come back

As a goalkeeper, I like to play with the ball, communicate and lead from the back. I want to be that fifth defender, helping the team build attacks and ultimately win games."

Rhone becomes Andy Whing's ninth addition of the summer as Brackley Town continues to build its squad ahead of the 2026/27 season.
