Jamaican international keeper Donovan Ricketts will not be joining QPR because of issues surrounding his work permit.

The deal was all but done earlier this week, so much so, that Bradford had already signed a replacement. But the transfer has now collapsed as QPR were unable to gain a work permit for the Jamaican International keeper. 

His current permit cannot be transferred over and Ricketts will now return to Bradford to fight for his place with Watford loanee, Scott Loach.

On the collapse of the deal, Bradford Chairman Mark Lawn told BBC Radio;

"we were assured it would all go through okay? It has been a real kick in the stomach and to the wallet"
