Club career

Ready began his career at Queens Park Rangers where he went on to make over 250 appearances during an eleven-year spell with the club. During a match with Crewe Alexandra in August 2000, Ready suffered a broken ankle and a number of complications during his recovery resulted in him missing the majority of the start of the 2000–01 season. In 2001 he was released, joining Scottish Premier League side Motherwell where he spent just one season, leaving when the club entered administration and subsequently cancelled the majority of their players' contracts.

He returned to England, joining Aldershot Town. However he was released by the club during the 2002–03 season and signed for Aylesbury United several months later, making his debut in the opening game of the 2003–04 season on 16 August 2003, converting a penalty during a 3–2 win over Billericay Town. He spent one month at Bell Close before moving to Crawley Town. In July 2004 he signed with Farnborough Town but left the club by mutual consent one month later having not played a game.
