Reading sign young Hunt

According to a report on Skysports.com, Dundee United striker Noel Hunt has joined his older brother Stephen at Reading. The 25 year old Ireland B international has scored 23 times in 64 appearances for Dundee United

Hunt has signed a three-year contract at the Madejski Stadium and has arrived for an undisclosed fee.

He revealed interest from the Royals last month and Reading’s director of football Nicky Hammond believes Hunt can aid the club’s quest for promotion to the Premier League.

“From my conversations with Noel, it is clear that he possesses the qualities of hunger and determination that Steve Coppell wants at this club as we attempt to regain a place in the Premier League.”

United boss Craig Levein feels the SPL club have received a fair price saying, “This transfer represents an excellent deal for Dundee United and helps bring further financial stability to the club.”
