Sigurdsson joy at new contract

Sigurdsson joined the Royals as an academy player, and insists he always wanted to extend his time with the club. He told the club's official website: "I'm here for another two-and-a-half seasons now, I always wanted to be here when I came at the age of 15 so I'm happy to be here for another three years." The midfielder scored in the 2-1 loss to Derby, and will now hope to be on the winning side when Reading play Sheffield Wednesday this Saturday.
