Championship side Queens Park Rangers have signed Chelsea goalkeeper Rhys Taylor on an emergency loan until January. The 19 year-old is being brought in as a backup to first choice Rangers keeper Radek Cerny.
Taylor has yet to make an appearance for the Blues and will see a loan move as a perfect chance to gain some first team experience. His way to the first team at Stamford Bridge is currently blocked by Czech star Petr Cech, Portuguese keeper Hilario and English youngster Ross Turnbull. The youngster is likely to go straight into the Rangers squad for Saturday’s game against Doncaster Rovers.
Rangers manager Jim Magilton is expecting Taylor to benefit greatly and told the clubs official website: “Rhys comes highly recommended and we’re delighted to have him on board. We’ve spoken to all the staff at Chelsea and they rate the boy very highly.
“It gives us the opportunity to work with a very good young goalkeeper and it gives Rhys the chance to work with a top-class goalkeeper and professional in Radek. I’ve no doubt he’ll push Radek all the way and that competition is running throughout the squad, so I couldn’t be happier.”
