How strange 
Reading official site - Doyle - We wanted to stop the rumours
Posted on: Thu 06 Nov 2008
Kevin Doyle says his new contract will put an end to any uncertainty about his future during the next transfer window - and he is determined to help get back up into the Premier League with Reading at the first time of asking.
Doyle, 25, has signed a deal until the summer of 2011, and the news has given the Royals a huge boost in their push for promotion.
Kevin told readingfc.co.uk, "We wanted to act now and then concentrate fully on the season. That's the idea behind signing the contract now and putting to rest any stories in January.
"We've done it before the window to stop all of that. I have gone up with Reading in the past, now I've come down with them too. To go up again would be an even bigger achievement this time and I would like to be part of that.
"The Club and I didn't want uncertainty in January, we wanted to clear things up now and then just try to get back into the Premiership in what is a massive season for us.

"We said 'how can we stop the rumours in January?' and the Club have been very good to me with contracts ever since I joined. Nick Hammond, the Chairman and the manager have all been good to me and this was done quickly, it wasn't something we'd planned.
"All of us were responsible for last season, myself just as much as anyone. I'd like to right the wrong and help us have a good season to get into the Premiership. We're all ambitious, I want to play on the biggest stage I can, and if we get back up it would be a great achievement."

Kevin has scored 11 goals in 15 Championship games this season, and is joint leading scorer in the division.
He signed for the Royals in the summer of 2005 from Irish top flight side Cork City, having previously played for St Patrick's Athletic.
Since moving to Berkshire he has become an established Irish international, and with 20 appearances he is now Reading's most capped player. He is also one of Ireland's most-capped u21 internationals.
He has made a total of 121(+15) appearances in a Reading shirt, and has scored a total of 49 goals in all competitions for Steve Coppell's men.
Kevin will no doubt receive a great recpeption at the Royals' home game with Derby this Saturday
