PositionDefender/Centre back

Welsh international with well over 200 appearances under his belt for QPR. Karl was one of several Queens Park Rangers players to have a frustrating time with injuries in the 2000-01 campaign. He suffered a broken leg in the third game of the season against Crewe and then went down with an ankle injury in December soon after returning to the team. When he finally recovered fitness he began to form an effective defensive partnership with Chris Plummer and the flood of goals conceded was reduced. Karl is an experienced central defender who is comfortable both in the air and on the ground. He was one of 15 players to be released by the Loftus Road club in the summer.
