QPR close on deals for Wise and Royce

Queens Park Rangers are close to agreeing deals for Dennis Wise and Charlton goalkeeper Simon Royce.

The club are in discussions with 38-year-old Wise for a one-year playing contract next season, while Royce is poised to sign a two-year deal.

Wise recently left his position as player-manager of Millwall but is keen to carry on playing for as long as possible.

Rangers chief executive Mark Devlin said: "Dennis would be a great addition to our squad. Our young players could learn a lot from him."

Royce, 33, impressed manager Ian Holloway during a loan spell at Rangers last season. He will sign on 1 July when his contract at Charlton ends.

Holloway is likely to continue his search for a back-up keeper to Royce after Generoso Rossi followed Chris Day out of the exit door.
