Nigel Adkins is predicting a sharp return to the Premier League for Reading and says there will be no summer exodus.

A brace from Hal Robson-Kanu helped the Royals to a 4-2 victory at Fulham on Saturday afternoon but it came too late after the club were relegated to the Championship last weekend.

However Adkins is keen for his side to finish the season as strongly as possible to build confidence ahead of next season, when he hopes to mastermind a promotion campaign.

Keeping the squad together will be one of his big jobs over the summer but he does not think it will be a problem as key players like Robson-Kanu are tied to contracts.

"He (Robson-Kanu) is well wrapped up with us. We are all right from that point of view," Adkins revealed. "It is not as if there is a situation where players are out of contract and there can be a mass exodus. We are in a good position."
