Manchester City have re-signed 20-year-old goalkeeper Pierce Charles from Sheffield Wednesday.
The Northern Ireland international, who has signed a five-year contract, will head straight to Championship side Queens Park Rangers on a season-long loan.
City have paid £3m fee plus add-ons for Charles, who joined Sheffield Wednesday in 2021 after progressing through the academy at City.
Charles told club media: "To be back at Manchester City is a very special and proud moment both for me and my family.
"I know first-hand what a special club City is and I am so excited about looking to the future.
"City take the development of young players very seriously so I know that my loan to QPR will only help me grow and improve as a player too.
"I'll now give everything I can for a successful season in the Championship before hopefully returning to Manchester a better goalkeeper."
