Daniel Nardiello looks set to join Queens Park Rangers after making a dramatic U-turn over signing a new deal at Barnsley.

The former Manchester United youngster was expected to sign a new deal at Oakwell on Monday before he had a late change of mind and agreed a move to QPR.

Rangers made a late bid for his signature and the 24-year-old is now believed to have agreed to make the move to Loftus Road.

The news has infuriated Barnsley and Tykes chairman Gordon Shepherd has hit out at Nardiello for the way he has treated the club.

"The club are desperately disappointed at Daniel's late, late decision especially as the deal was all agreed and the paperwork ready on the table for his signature," Shepherd told the club's official website.

"We are also very unhappy at assurances given to us by the player that he would only consider leaving Oakwell for a club closer to his home in the Midlands.

"As we had been hoping to announce Daniel's signature this afternoon, we feel that we have no alternative but to inform our supporters of the events and we are sure that they will share our deep disappointment at the way we have been treated today."
