Irish defender Jimmy Dunne earns Player of the Month honours for QPR

The 24-year-old Dundalk native has settled in well since his summer transfer from Burnley.

JIMMY DUNNE’S RECENT form for Queens Park Rangers has been recognised with the club’s Player of Month award for December.

The 24-year-old centre-back from Dundalk, who saw off competition from Yoann Barbet and Chris Willock, received 53% of the votes submitted by fans of the Championship promotion chasers.

Dunne has now made nine consecutive starts for QPR, who he joined last summer after five years on the books at Burnley.

The West London outfit are currently in fifth place, as they bid to end a six-year absence from the Premier League.

A former Ireland U21 international, Dunne remains uncapped at senior level despite featuring in squads under both Martin O’Neill and Mick McCarthy.

    Best of luck to Cathal. He comes across as very smart and mature, and more importantly, decent person.

    It’s a shame he didn’t make it further on ufc due to the above. He would of been a great spokesman for the sport and for his voluntary work with mental health.

    Seems like a great guy and a gent. I still have nightmares about the rude and ill informed interview Ray Darcy did with him on his radio show where he kept referring to him as “Conor”.

    “All I had was hard work ethic, and a never say die attitude” certainly enough to succeed in the UFC… but a recipe for success outside of it. Best of luck Pendred.
