Dunne named as skipper by QPR

Jimmy Dunne missed just one league match for Queen's Park Rangers last season

Jimmy Dunne has been named as the new Queens Park Rangers club captain for the coming season.

The 27-year-old defender, who was named player of the year by both the Rs fans and players for last season, signed a new contract with the club last month.

Dunne, who joined the London side from Burnley four years ago, told the club website: "I was definitely a kid when I came here and the experiences with the different head coaches have definitely been very valuable.

"I definitely understand the game a lot better than I did at the start. I'm less emotional in my decision-making than I was when I first came. But I'm still just as eager to win."
