Marc McNulty scored 23 league goals for Coventry City last season

Championship club Reading have signed striker Marc McNulty from Coventry City for an undisclosed fee.

The 25-year-old, who scored 28 goals in 52 appearances last season as the Sky Blues were promoted from League Two, has agreed a four-year contract.

Coventry had rejected three offers from the Royals for McNulty and offered the Scot an improved contract.

"I've no doubt he will make the step up and prove a very good acquisition for us," Reading boss Paul Clement said. external-link
