Liam Moore has committed his future to Reading after signing a five-year contract extension with the Sky Bet Championship club.

The defender handed in a transfer request in July, but confirmed he will stay at the club earlier in August after a move to Brighton failed to materialise - doing so after the Premier League transfer window shut.

Reading rejected three bids from Brighton this summer, with the third valued at around £8m.

After Moore put pen to paper on the Championship's loan Deadline Day, Reading manager Paul Clement said he is eager to look forward after a summer of uncertainty.

"I'm very pleased that Liam has decided to commit to a new long-term contract at Reading," Clement told the club's website.

"Over the summer there was a lot of speculation and uncertainty surrounding his future at the club and we are all delighted that he has agreed this new deal.
