SIGNING: Joe joins on loan

Defender Joe Gubbins joins the Reds from Queens Park Rangers on a season-long loan

25 August 2023

Accrington Stanley have today completed the signing of defender Joe Gubbins from Queens Park Rangers on a season-long loan.

Born in Oxford; Gubbins arrived at Loftus Road from Southampton ahead of the 2017/18 campaign, before making his senior debut as a substitute in a 5-1 Emirates FA Cup victory over Swansea City in January 2020.

The 22-year-old, who has also had loan spells at Aldershot Town and Southend United, has played a total of five times for The Hoops; with two of those appearances coming under Gareth Ainsworth so far this season.

John Coleman said: "Joe has been on loan at Southend and has impressed, he has also started in the Championship this season.

"He is a left-footed defender, which we need at the moment, and he will go straight into the squad for tomorrow's game."

Joe added: "I first heard about the move on Tuesday night, and I jumped at it because I want to come up here and show what I can do.

"I'm really looking forward to getting started, it's a massive opportunity for me. This is something I've been waiting for, I want to start my career and make a name for myself."

A full interview video with Joe will be uploaded to the club's official YouTube channel later this month, CLICK HERE to find out more!

The move is subject to EFL and FA ratification.
