Wolves today swooped to complete the signing of striker Kevin Doyle from Reading.

The 25-year-old Irishman is understood to have chosen to move to Molineux despite interest from the likes of Everton, Fulham, Villa, Sunderland and Bolton.

The Irish international is a proven goalscorer at Premier League level having hit the net 13 times for the Royals in their first season in the big time.

"I'm delighted to get the move sorted and can't wait to get going," he said.

"I spoke to the manager and chief executive over a week ago and came to the training ground to see everything.

"I've been making my mind up over the last couple of weeks and am just really pleased the decision has been made.

"The facilities here are top class and it's great to be going back into the Premier League again.

"I'm sad to be leaving Reading because I had some great years there but I'm going with their blessing as well which is nice."
