Murphy Set to Sign QPR Deal - Ipswich Town News
TWTD understands that former Blues keeper Brian Murphy will sign a two-year deal with QPR when Neil Warnock’s newly promoted squad return from a pre-season trip to Italy. TWTD first revealed Rangers’ interest in the Irishman back in May.
Murphy, 28, turned down the offer of a new one-year deal at Portman Road at the end of last season.
The former Bohemians man has been on trial at Loftus Road in recent weeks and took part in their pre-season tour of Cornwall in addition to their current visit to Italy.
Meanwhile, the Blues and Derby are reported to have shown interest in Leicester striker Martyn Waghorn, however, the Foxes plan to use the 21-year-old former Sunderland man as a makeweight in a £4 million offer for Bristol City's Nicky Maynard.
