“Every year there is a lot of hype around players from England saying they are going to be the next this or that. Sometimes they fade away, sometimes they move on.”

“Everyone focuses in football now on the managers a bit more than the players. I think that's a bad thing.”

“I hope I'm going to be a good player, but you never know. Hopefully I can just get game time and play, and prove to everyone.”

“If the Under-21s or the Under-18s need me I still come down and play without making a fuss. I don't mind playing for whatever age group. I am with the first team now but if they want me to play, I will play.”

“I've said this before - Marcus Edwards. My age - he's probably one of the best players I've played with.”

“I just try not to be at the centre of everything.”

“Everyone just needs to be together. That's what you need. You don't just need a manager but a team that is together.”

“At my last Under-23s game I heard Reading were interested. I knew I had to push for that deal with a top three club fighting for promotion.”

“I had a few teams after me, but when I heard Reading were interested I didn't think about other teams.”

“I was just happy to be in and around the team, being in the 16, being in and around a Premier League team. I got nine games, I came on a couple of times in the Prem, a couple of times in the cup games.”
