CHERRIES boss Kevin Bond has added QPR defender Dominic Shimmin to his ranks.

The 20-year-old completed his move ahead of yesterday's Football League deadline for loan signings.

A former Arsenal trainee, Shimmin has made four league and cup appearances for QPR but has also struggled with injury.

He has not featured for their first team this season and will not go straight into the Cherries' squad for Saturday's clash with Oldham.

Shimmin will link-up with Kevin Bond's squad for the first time on Monday.
