R’s swoop for Irish keeper Murphy

Queens Park Rangers have officially completed the signing of goalkeeper Brian Murphy on a free transfer. The Irish stopper has signed a two year deal with the Hoops and will provide competition to Paddy Kenny and Radek Cerny for a starting spot under the sticks. Murphy was a free agent after rejecting a new contract at Ipswich Town and spent the last few weeks on trial with QPR, even appearing in a few friendlies for Neil Warnock’s side.

Waterford born Murphy started his career with Man City and had loan spells at Oldham and Posh before joining Swansea in 2003. After three years at the Liberty Stadium, he left the Welsh club to return home by signing for Bohemians. He won two League of Ireland titles with Bohs before joining Ipswich in January 2010.
