Reading defender Alex Pearce is open to a permanent deal at Norwich City.

"I've been here a while now and I haven't managed to get home yet as I'm really enjoying it," Pearce said.

"It's important when you go out on loan to be settled off the pitch and this is a lovely area. The city's nice and the people have been really nice as well.

"We've got a great set of lads here who helped me settle in straight away.

"This has been a great experience and who knows what could happen in football. If I'm not involved with Reading I could end up back here because I've really loved my time."
