FORMER Huddersfield Town loan defender Sean Morrison has agreed a contract extension with parent club Reading.
The 21-year-old centre back, who played 19 times in the league for Town and scored a penalty in the Wembley shoot out last season, has signed a contract extension to 2012 with the Royals.
He has made two appearances for Reading to date – scoring on his debut against Charlton and coming off the bench in the 3-2 win over Q.P.R last week, producing a vital block to help send Brian McDermott’s men into the last 16 of the Capital One Cup.
“It’s always nice to sign a new deal, now I’ve got to push on and show all the Reading fans what I can do,” said Morrison.
“I’m improving every day and I think if the manager was to call upon me I’d be ready. Since I’ve been here the gaffer has given me his backing, I know he and the coaching staff believe in me which gives me a load of confidence.”
Brian McDermott was full of praise for ‘Morro’ following the recent thrilling win at Loftus Road.
“Sean is a player who went out on loan and did really well for us – he’s got the tools to work at his game and be a really good centre half,” he said.
“If he keeps working and keeps doing what he’s doing he’ll be a very, very good defender. I’m sure he will be.”
