QPR signed promising young Man Utd goalkeeper Tom Heaton on a half season loan deal in August 2009 as cover for Radek Cerny. The R's had earlier allowed second choice goalkeeper to sign for Championship rivals Nottingham Forest and after missing out on the permanent signing of Andy Marshall who had been released by Coventry turned to Heaton to provide cover and competition for the veteran Czech.

Heaton, an England youth international, is yet to break through into the senior team at Old Trafford but does have experience of the Football League from two loan deals. He spent time in league One with Swindon Town in 2005/06 and then got a taste of the Championship with 24 games at Cardiff City in 2008/09 during which his form was said to be mixed.
