QPR exit a ‘shock’ for Simpson

By

Danny Simpson has admitted he was shocked by QPR’s decision to sell him to Leicester City.

The right-back played a key role for Harry Redknapp’s Rangers side as they won promotion from the Championship last season.

But he has moved on after only a year at Loftus Road, signing a three-year deal with the Foxes after they had an offer for him accepted.

Simpson told Talksport: “I was quite surprised when Harry Redknapp pulled me into his office, said Leicester had made an enquiry, how do I feel and that he was happy to let me go.

“I had enjoyed a good pre-season and was ready to hit the ground running in the Premier League, so it was a little bit of a shock after the year I’d had.

“I thought about what he said and decided I wanted to play for Leicester City and improve my opportunity for first-team football.”
