QPR have confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Matt Ingram from League Two side Wycombe Wanderers.
Ingram leaves Adams Park for an undisclosed fee to become Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink‘s second signing of the January transfer window, following the £3m signing of striker Conor Washington.
The stopper, 22, has kept 11 clean sheets in 29 appearances this season and joins the R’s on a four-and-a-half year deal.
Ingram told the club’s website: “I spoke to the manager at length and he made me feel really welcome about coming here,” Ingram told the club’s official website.
“I’m by no means the finished article – as a 22-year-old goalkeeper, I’ve still got a lot to learn – and coming here gives me another platform to develop and get better.
“The challenge of competing for the shirt will drive me on. Alex [Smithies] is a great ‘keeper and I’m looking forward to working with him and the other ‘keepers,” added said.
R’s boss Hasselbaink added: “Matt is one for the future, but he’s joining us at a time when he’s developing into a really good young goalkeeper.
“Alex has the shirt now but I want Matt to challenge him – and that is why we have signed him. Knowing him and his character, he won’t just be coming here to sit on the bench.
“We feel Matt will play at the highest level one day. We foresee a very bright future for him.”
