Chris Powell believes Huddersfield Town keeper Alex Smithies’ transfer to QPR is “almost done”.

The 25-year-old began talks over a near £2m move to Loftus Road early this week.

Town boss Powell said: “There has been a bit of a hold-up, which I believe is due to the availability of one of the medical consultants used by QPR.

“But I think the deal will be signed and sealed, possibly today.

“As I have already said, it will be a real shame to lose Alex, but he goes with our best wishes.”

Huddersfield-born Town academy product Smithies has made 274 appearances for the club.

QPR visit Town for a Championship match on Saturday, August 29.
