Reading have completed the signing of Huddersfield Town midfielder Oliver Norwood.

The 23-year-old arrives for an undisclosed fee and has signed a three-year contract at Madejski Stadium.

Norwood, who came through the ranks at Manchester United, will go straight into the squad for Saturday's game at Nottingham Forest.

He said: "I'm very happy.

"There's been a lot of waiting around, doing a medical and other bits.

"So it's great to get it done.

"I'll be training in the morning and hopefully be involved in the squad for Saturday."

Norwood added: "Everything excites me about the move. The size and stature of the club.

"Just being in and around the place there seems to be a real excitement about the young players.

"It just seems like a good place to be at the moment."

Norwood becomes Reading's fourth signing of the summer, following Simon Cox, Jamie Mackie and Anton Ferdinand.

And boss Nigel Adkins believes he has all the attributes to be a real success at Madejski Stadium.

He said: "Oliver's a good footballer. He had a good up bringing at Manchester United.

"He's got games under his belt now in the Football League.

"He's a good age at 23 and he can only improve by coming into this environment."

Adkins added: "He will fit in well with the players because he's got a great attitude.

"He's athletic and has a great pass on him. He gets all round the pitch.

"I think he's only going to get better and better. I'm really excited about it.

"We're moving forward now. Oliver has become the fourth player we've been able to bring into the group now. It's exciting."
