Not for us no but has 52 senior appearances over 3 loan spells. Not saying he would make it here but he's got good attributes and has done enough during his loan spells to hint that he at least has a craic and a decent career.

Producing professional footballers isn't all about Premier League or even Championship players. People can have decent careers in League 1 & 2. Also after playing at that level for a few years some step up to the Championship around the 25-26 year old mark.

Exhibit A: Ephron Mason Clark.

Wonder what QPR have seen in him. Hopefully don’t find out next week

PVA · 2026-01-19T17:56:46+0000

I think that's a good deal all round for all parties really.

They've got some injuries at the moment I think so I guess maybe he's a bit of a stop gap for now until players return, then they'll look to develop him.

skybluecam · 2026-01-19T18:00:38+0000

If he scores against us on the 31st...

He won't be in the side.

Would we call this a success from our academy? Picked him up from non league at 17 years old, sold for half a million at 21 years old. I'd say it is a good case study, along with Sam Mccallum that we can turn non league players into league players with the right attitude, attributes and training.

Of course there will always be Bowe Bosma or whatever he was called

Good bit of business to get £500k if true. He's looked good when I've seen him in pre-season games in past seasons, but the club has probably progressed to a level out of reach now for him.

As others have said, I was expecting he'd be one who is released for free at the end of his contract

Yes, good bit of business. All helps the cash flow

Samueljames1991 · 2026-01-19T18:16:55+0000

Look after him x

skybluegod · 2026-01-19T18:27:45+0000

It's a win win for all round, it's a low risk gamble for us to let him go, he has attributes to be a good striker but isn't going to get game time with us. But the sale probably funds the wages of Esse for half the season to hopefully get us promoted now. Not saying they are linked, but just all helps in the bigger picture.

Will be happy to see him do well.

JSL · 2026-01-19T18:39:42+0000

He was out on loan so surely we werent paying his most probable meagre wages anyway

Really wasn’t expecting this. Have they seen something we should have seen?

fatso · 2026-01-19T19:33:38+0000

Potentially a very good signing for QPR for not a lot of money.

Hope there's a clause he can't play against us next week!!

Honestly doubt he will be around the first team for qpr straight away

How many players have we happily let leave that have gone on to greater things?

Struggling to think of any in recent years.

I can’t think of any post league 2. Just seems so random that you wonder what’s being missed. Wonder what QPR fans think?

I have a feeling he will do well, we might live to regret this one

He's coming up to 22 if he was good enough for us he would have been more involved .

Wasn’t that about the age Wilson broke through?

David O'Day · 2026-01-19T20:09:30+0000

If I remember correct isn't he quite a big and quick lad.

maybe QPR think they can coach him into being a better goal scorer

good business, 500k for someone who was likely leaving in a free in a few months

AFCCOVENTRY · 2026-01-19T20:10:49+0000

£500k to pay for a marquee Prem cm loan signing

Think it was more the case that he's out of contract in June and QPR have offered him more minutes and a move that's near to where he grew up/closer to family etc.

Potbellypig · 2026-01-19T21:23:05+0000

It's one for the agent to put on his CV.

The QPR press release says he is joining the first team squad after their match tomorrow

He'll be on the bench

Skyblueabo1111 · 2026-01-19T23:40:24+0000

Fairly sure he will be a very good Championship striker.

Chaplin and JCH both went on to be quite successful elsewhere but we hardly missed them.
