Round-up: Monye to retire, Bayern linked with Ivanovic, QPR trialist, Bamford out

Harlequins and England winger Ugo Monye has announced he will retire at the end of the season.

Monye, 31, has made more than 230 appearances for the club and described his Quins career as amazing.

Meanwhile, Monye’s club team-mate Chris Robshaw has insisted that England can win the World Cup.

In football, head coach Chris Ramsey believes QPR need to win four of their eight remaining matches in order to stay in the Premier League.

The 2-1 defeat against Everton left Ramsey’s side staring at the prospect of relegation. Click here for our player ratings from that game – we made Bobby Zamora our QPR man of the match – and here for Hull v Chelsea player ratings.
