Robins Fails To See Wood For the Rs

Last updated : 10 November 2009 By Rob Miles (Barnsley Boy)

It is understood transfer listed Sheffield Wednesday defender Richard Wood has turned down a move to Barnsley and is set to move to promotion chasing Queens Park Rangers.

Wood, 24, who has made 189 appearances for the Owls in six years was placed on the transfer list after refusing to sign a new deal at Hillsborough.

Reds boss Mark Robins spoke with his Wednesday counterpart Brian Laws yesterday but Wood flatly turned down any hope of a move.

It is now expected the defender will move to Loftus Road where manager Jim Magilton has been tracking the Hillsborough Academy graduate since he was in charge of Ipswich.
