Loan star relishing tough task

The young Irish defender, who is on loan from Celtic, was one of three players to join the Royals on deadline day.A delighted O'Dea told the club's website: "It's a great opportunity for me to hopefully play games, win matches and do as well as I possibly can for the team."Coming here will help me develop as a player under a top manager, I'm under no illusions about getting into the team though."This is a good club with good players and it will be tough to break in."
