Ex-QPR Goalie, Lee Harper Joins MK Dons on 3 Month Loan
Earlier today, MK Dons manager Martin Allen secured the loan signing of Northampton Town goalkeeper Lee Harper, who joins the club on a three month loan and goes straight into the squad for tomorrow's game with table-topping Walsall.
Goalkeeper Harper joined the Sixfields club in the summer of 2002 on a free transfer from tomorrow's opponents Walsall. The former Gunner stands six feet tall and is a goalkeeper of undoubted ability.
Born in London, Lee started out at non-league Sittingbourne Town before being plucked out of non-league football by Arsenal who paid £150,000 for his services in 1994. He spent time as understudy to David Seaman at Highbury, before he moved to Queens Park Rangers for £125,000 in 1997.
In four years at Loftus Road he made 132 appearances and established himself as Rangers' number one. In the summer of 2001 he moved to Walsall but only made five appearances for the Saddlers as he battled with James Walker for the goalkeeper's shirt.
Was named both the Northampton Town and the PFA Division 3 Player of the Year for 2003/2004. Signed a new 1 year contract at Sixfields in the summer of 2006
