Jackett Attempts Second QPR Raid

Last updated : 15 February 2005 By Richard Evans
Kenny Jackett is looking to further expand his squad by raiding his former club QPR for the second time in 24 hours. Rangers' midfielder Marcus Bean is set to move to South Wales on loan until the end of the season, where he will join up with fellow team-mate Kevin McLeod in an attempt to bolster Swansea's promotion push.

Bean is a hard-tackling defensive midfielder who has found first-team opportunities somewhat limited in recent weeks at Loftus Road. After winning QPR's Young Player of the Year award last season, Bean has made a number of impressive appearances in this year's Championship and scored the winner in Rangers' 1-0 win at Gillingham earlier in the season.

Jackett has of coursed worked with Bean in his previous spell at QPR and has clearly decided that his side needs improving ahead of Swansea's crucial promotion run-in. The club is expected to make an announcement regarding the completion of the move at some point tomorrow.
