Reading midfielder Liam Kelly has signed a new three-year contract with the club following an impressive first full season in the senior side.

He made 36 appearances last season, including as a substitute in the Championship play-off final.

Kelly, 21, has been with Reading since the age of eight.

"He took first-team football in his stride last season and certainly deserves this new contract," chief executive Nigel Howe said.
