The centre-back is likely to attract plenty of interest following his impressive spell with the Seasiders, and the Royals are one of those clubs who are considering a move according to the Reading Chronicle.

Heneghan, speaking to The Gazette last month, refused to rule out a return to Blackpool despite admitting his aim was to play in the Championship.

He said: "I’m never going to rule anything out, I’m humble with the approach.

“I’m just happy to play football and I think I played 49 games this season, which is brilliant for me. If it happens next year, it happens.

“Ideally I would love to play in the Championship, that is my aim, there’s no denying that.

“I’ve just got to see what happens but wherever I go, all I want to do is play football week in, week out because that’s what I love.”
