Champion, who was born and raised in Shepherdâs Bush, was with Rangers and Chelsea before Spurs snapped him up in 2010. The 17-year-old featured for QPRâs reserve side in a match against Watford on Wednesday afternoon.
Jason Puncheon instrumental as QPR Reserves beat Watford 4-1 Watford Reserves suffered a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Queens Park Rangers in this afternoon’s friendly at the R’s training ground. Rangers named a strong XI and new signing Jason Puncheon was instrumental in his side being 4-0 up at half time, with highly-rated Hornets’ scholar Sean Murray grabbing a consolation free kick midway through the second half. Experienced full back Bradley Orr opened the scoring on seven minutes as he slotted home Puncheon’s through ball from close range. It was from a cleared Puncheon cross that Petter Vaagan Moen struck a superb second from 20 yards out and the former Blackpool winger was again the provider as Hogan Ephraim fired a first-time shot into the far corner. The fourth came courtesy of more good work from Puncheon five minutes before the break and this time Gary Borrowdale applied the finish. Watford’s consolation came midway through the second half as Republic of Ireland youth international Murray scored what was described as a “perfectly-executed” free kick. QPR: Cerny; Orr, Borrowdale, Parmenter, Peroni; Champion, Ephraim, Vaagan Moen, Andrade; Hewitt, Puncheon
