QPR have announced the signing of former Cabinteely FC goalkeeper Harry Halwax on a deal until the end of the season. The Dubliner will initially link up with the club’s U23 squad.

The 19-year-old played his youth football with Leixlip United before moving to Championship side Derby County in 2018. He made 9 appearances for the Ram’s U18s before joining Cabinteely on loan in 2021.

Halwax shared goalkeeping duties with Adam Hayden last year for Pat Devlin’s men as they finished 9th in the First Division.

An Irish underage international, he was capped by Andy Reid at under-18 level in May 2019 alongside the likes of Andrew Omobamidele.

He joins a growing Irish contingent at Loftus Road that includes centre backs, Jimmy Dunne and Conor Masterson.
