Three clubs are reportedly eager to sign Reading striker Noel Hunt at the end of the current campaign.

The Irishman is out of contract at the Madejski Stadium in June and so far no agreement has been reached over an extension to his deal.

That has alerted West Ham United, Cardiff City and Hull City, all of whom would be keen to sign the 30-year-old on a free transfer, according to Sky Sports News.

Hunt, who is the brother of Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Stephen, joined the Royals back in 2008 from Scottish side Dundee United.
