Hibs to sign QPR keeper Barnes on loan

Goalkeeper Dillon Barnes is joining Hibernian from QPR on a season-long loan.

Barnes, 24, moved to Rangers from Colchester United a year ago.

He has not made a first-team appearance since that surprise move and is currently behind Seny Dieng, Liam Kelly and Joe Lumley in the pecking order of QPR keepers.

Barnes recently had trial at Swindon Town but is set for a move north of the border.

The deal is expected to be finalised later today.
