 Hahnemann is a stalwart of Reading's starting line-up |
Reading goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann and midfielder Glen Little have signed new deals with the club. Both players, whose previous contracts expired at the end of the season, agreed new deals to stay at Madejski Stadium until the summer of 2008.
Hahnemann has made over 200 appearances since signing from Fulham five years ago while Little, 31, is nearing the 100-mark since joining in 2004.
Hahnemann, 34, said: "The more time I've spent here the better it's got."
 | I've never hidden the fact that I wanted to stay |
The American international was a vital part of last season's record-breaking promotion campaign, playing in all but one of their Championship fixtures. This season he has remained ever present in the Premiership, keeping four clean sheets so far.
"I've never hidden the fact that I wanted to stay," he added.
Little has scored six times since his free transfer signing from Burnley two years ago.

Little added, "I want to stay at Reading until the end of my career so I had no hesitation in signing this contract.
"Things have gone well for me here, we're new to the Premiership and really enjoying it."
