    Kitson commits to Royals

    27 Mar 2007 - 15:46:45

    Reading striker Dave Kitson has committed his future to the Royals by penning a new three-year contract with the club.

    The former Cambridge United star will now remain at the Madejski Stadium until the end of the 2009-10 campaign.

    The news comes just 24 hours after Royals boss Steve Coppell signed a new contract with the club.

    Director of football Nick Hammond is delighted with the news, telling the club's official website: "This is an extremely important signing for us because we have no doubt that Dave Kitson is fully capable of scoring goals at the highest level, which is a very valuable commodity and one that is difficult to find.

    "We're confident that Dave will show those qualities over the remainder of this campaign and going into next season."

    Kitson endured five months on the sidelines earlier this season after suffering a serious knee injury in the opening day victory against Middlesbrough.

    He has netted 49 goals in 105 appearances for Reading since his £350,000 transfer from Cambridge in December 2003.

    However, this term he has started only three Premiership games for Coppell's side.
