The 20-year-old will provide back-up to Stuart Nelson until January 2nd, 2020.

 

Driscoll hails from Perth, Australia and as a youngster played for the West Australian State team and the West Australian State schoolboys.

 

He then represented Perth Glory in 2014, rising as far as their under-18 side. However, during 2014 he moved across to England with the goal of gaining a scholarship with a team over there.

 

Reading recruited him, providing him with a two-year scholarship deal in July 2015 and that led to the award of a professional contract in 2017.

 

During that summer, then-manager Jaap Stam invited him to join the first team squad for a pre-season tour, and that was followed by him spending half a season on loan with Staines Town.

 

He returned to the Madejski Stadium in early 2018, playing for the under-23 side, and that led to him being given a new contract until June 2020.

 

The early part of the 2018/19 season saw him go out on loan a second time, with him playing for National League South side Hungerford Town, making 5 appearances between August and September 2018.

 

Following the completion of that loan spell he returned to Reading, playing five times for the under-23s and being on their bench on a further 6 occasions in Premier League 2 fixtures.

 

He also had a brief February 2019 loan spell with BetVictor Southern League Premier Division South outfit Salisbury, for whom he played twice.
