Jimmy Dunne: Queens Park Rangers sign Burnley defender

QPR have signed Burnley defender Jimmy Dunne for an undisclosed fee.

The 23-year-old moves to West London on a three-year contract with Rangers having the option to extend the deal by a further 12 months.

The Irishman made his Premier League debut last season and has gone on to play three times in the top flight for Sean Dyche's side.

The centre-back has previously had loan spells at Barrow, Accrington, Hearts, Fleetwood Town and Sunderland.

"It's a massive step for me. With the push that the lads had during the second half of last season it would be nice to be part of something like that this season," Dunne told the club website.
