Defender poised to be handed new contract by McDermott
Sky Sports understands Reading defender Michael Hector is set to sign a new deal with the Premier League new boys.
The 19-year-old's current deal with the Royals was due to expire this summer but Brian McDermott now wants to retain his services.
Hector was sent on loan to Barnet last term and his displays for the Bees earned him rave reviews while at Underhill.
Championship duo Derby and Crystal Palace were both set to swoop for the cultured defender, who was signed by the Royals from non-league football.
However, Reading believe the towering centre-half possesses not only the physical attributes, but also the technique to flourish in the Premier League.
