Wolverhampton Wanderers have confirmed the signing of Kevin Doyle from Championship club Reading as they prepare for life in the Premier League.
A statement on the club's official website reads, "Wolves have today swooped to complete the signing of much sought-after striker Kevin Doyle from Reading to help spearhead their return to the Premier League.
"Kevin completed his medical late last night and put pen to paper on a four-year contract to make the move from Berkshire for an undisclosed fee."
It is thought that the Midlands-based side beat off competition from the likes of Aston Villa, Bolton Wanderers, Everton, Fulham and Sunderland to land the 25-year-old.
"I'm delighted to get the move sorted and can't wait to get going," Doyle is quoted as saying.
"I'm sad to be leaving Reading because I had some great years there but I'm going with their blessing as well which is nice.
"Wolves were the first club that actually came in and settled things with Reading and so they were the first club I spoke to.
"It was nice to see how keen they were and when I came in and met the manager I just got on really well with him.
"The facilities here are top class and it's great to be going back into the Premier League again."
The 26-time capped Republic of Ireland international was rumoured to have had a £6.5 million minimum fee release clause in his Reading contract.
Having joined the Royals from Cork City for a fee of around £78,000 in 2005, Doyle scored 56 goals in 163 appearances.
