PASCAL Chimbonda, whom new Ipswich Town boss Paul Jewell made an enquiry about earlier this week, has joined QPR this evening.

Right-back Chimbonda had been released from his contract by Blackburn Rovers, to enable him to move elsewhere as a free agent.

Jewell, when the manager of Wigan Athletic, had brought Chimbonda to England from France in 2005. Although he discussed Chimbonda’s situation with Blackburn boss Steve Kean this week, no bid was ever made to sign the 31-year-old.
