Departing Hull midfielder Quinn excited to open new Reading chapter

Ex-Hull City star Stephen Quinn is excited after finalising his move to Reading.

Quinn rejected the a new contract offer from Hull to join fellow Championship side Reading recently and upon the completion of his move to the Madejski Stadium, the Republic of Ireland international has expressed his excitement at joining 'such a big' club.

Speaking to Reading's official website, Quinn said: "I'm really looking forward to a new chapter in my career with Reading. I'm really excited to be down at such a big club.

"Everything about the club attracted me; the ambition to get back into the Premier League and the manager, who came and met me in the close season and spoke very well.

"He made me feel very wanted. He likes my style of play and how he wants to play the game is mirrored by that. He didn't have to say too much to more after that because my heart was set on it after then.

"Obviously, the manager has worked with some of the best players in the business and his track record is excellent. His philosophy on how he wants to play the game is something that I'm looking forward to working with."
