Carrico close to Royals debut

New Reading signing Daniel Carrico is targeting Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash with West Brom as the match in which to make his debut for the Royals.

The 24-year-old Carrico, who joined from Sporting Lisbon, can play in either defence or midfield and is hopeful of making his Reading bow against the Baggies.

"I hope I can pull on the Reading shirt in the next game," he told ReadingFC Player. "Like I said before it will be a dream come true. I'll be training hard in the week to prepare for the next game and I hope I can play."
