Prior to his move to the Madejski Stadium, Federici played for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Bolton Wanderers and Leeds United on a trial basis. He was signed to Reading in September 2005 as a free agent, and spent the second half of the 2005-06 season on loan at Carshalton Athletic. He joined Bristol City on a loan deal on 29 August 2006, but was recalled on 27 October 2006 without making a first team appearance.
On 17 February 2007 a "second string" Reading side unexpectedly drew 1-1 with Manchester United during an FA Cup 5th Round tie at Old Trafford, with the young Aussie keeper making some fine saves in a memorable game for the club.[1] For this performance, he was named the FA Cup "Player of the Round" for the 5th Round.[2] However, in the replay on 27 February, Federici had a night to generally forget as Reading conceded three goals in the first six minutes. Federici was at fault for the first two, the first being a Gabriel Heinze shot from outside the area going underneath Federici's arms, and the second a Louis Saha shot for which Federici failed to dive far enough to save.
On 12 March 2007, Federici signed a two year contract with Reading to keep him at the club until the end of the 2008-09 season.[3]
Federici played for the Australia U20 team, the 'Young Socceroos', in the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship. He was called up to the senior Australia squad on 29 January 2007 prior to their friendly against Denmark in London but did not play.[4]
- In a pre-season friendly match for the 2006-07 season on 15 July 2006, against Bromley, he scored the only goal of the game after being played in attack.[5]
