Reading delighted with O'Dea loan deal

Reading manager Brendan Rodgers is delighted that Celtic and Ireland defender Darren O'Dea has joined on loan until January.

The 22-year-old has signed a new three-year deal with Celtic but has been sent out on loan to get first-team experience.

O'Dea turned down a number of clubs to join the Royals, who have shipped seven goals in just five Championship games.
