Mantell was part of the Reading team that won the European Cup in 2003

Reading's men's team ended their Euro Hockey League campaign on a high by securing a bronze medal with a 3-2 win over Oranje Zwart in the Hague.

A 3-0 defeat by Club de Campo of Madrid ended Reading's hopes of a gold medal.

But they bounced back in the third-place play-off against Dutch oufit Zwart, recovering from conceding early to take a half-time 2-1 lead.

And despite Zwart levelling in the second half, Reading wrapped up the win with a fantastic late Rhys Joyce goal.
