Rovers offered Orr as Connolly joins Royals

QPR have offered Bradley Orr to Blackburn and loaned Matt Connolly to Championship side Reading for the rest of the season.

Orr, 29, is discussing a possible move to Rovers after being made available by R’s boss Mark Hughes this week.

Like Orr, Connolly has been pushed further down the pecking order at Loftus Road by the recent signing of Nedum Onuoha from Manchester City.

Connolly, who joined Rangers from Arsenal four years ago, will be reunited with former QPR team-mate Kaspars Gorkss at the Madejski Stadium.
