Town have completed the signing of QPR striker DJ Campbell on a three-month loan. Earlier today, TWTD revealed that the 30-year-old had arrived at the club to put pen to paper on a deal which will keep him at Portman Road until Saturday 5th January.

As reported last week, the Blues failed to land Campbell prior to the Barnsley game as cover for the sidelined Paul Taylor and Michael Chopra with the striker expected to join Blackpool. But despite protracted negotiations that deal didn't go through.

Having been a youth player with QPR and Aston Villa, much-travelled Campbell began his senior career in non-league with the likes of Chesham, Stevenage Borough, Billericay Town and Yeading before moving into the Football League with Brentford and then the Premier League with Birmingham.

Since then, the Londoner has represented Leicester, Derby and Blackpool (twice on loan, once permanently), before returning to QPR again last summer for a fee of £1.2 million, signing a two-year deal.

Having rarely been involved with Rangers, the former England C international had long been tipped for a fourth spell with the Seasiders.

Campbell, who will wear the Town number five shirt, may well go straight into the team facing Cardiff live on Sky tomorrow evening with Chopra perhaps left on the bench after this week's off-field issues.

TheWizardDeVos added 07:12 - Oct 6 I note one comment that says Campbell "scores goals for fun". It's a fact that he turns 31 in November and should he score for Town, it will be only his 58th goal in league football.
