Striker Andy Carroll has made his intentions to stay at Reading FC clear with his current contract due to expire next month.
The Royals forward joined Reading last season on a short term stay that saw him depart for West Brom after the New Year.
However, Carroll revealed that he regrets leaving the club and has outlined his wish to extend his current deal with Reading.
“Hopefully we will get it (the contract) sorted in the next couple of weeks,” said Carroll.
“I enjoy it. The lads are great, the training ground is great, the staff are brilliant and the fans.
“I came back because I enjoyed it the first time. Looking back I probably shouldn’t have left. I want to stay longer.”
Carroll admitted that the current dressing room is one of the best he has been involved in.
He continued: “It sounds cliche but we really are like a family. It’s a tight group, everyone is involved with each other.
“The dressing room is fantastic. It’s one of the best I’ve been in to be honest. The lads are really tight and have stuck together. It’s good to be a part of.
“I’ve been in dressing rooms before where there all groups all over the place and they keep themselves to themselves. Here it’s not like that at all.
“To be honest, the second day I was there (West Brom) I regretted being there.
“I was in Spain keeping fit and working hard (over the summer).
“When I got the call from the manager, I was like ‘Yeah, come on, get me back in’
“You’ll have to ask the manager as I don’t have the answers, but I’m willing to sign if there is a deal there.”
