SkyBet Championship side Queens Park Rangers` B captain Deon Woodman has joined Dulwich on a loan until the end of the season. The 20-year-old centre-half switched to Rangers on a permanent basis in 2021 after leaving Crystal Palace. He is a centre-back, and the move to Champion Hill will give him the opportunity to play senior football for the first time in his career. The 6'5", 20-year-old began his youth career with Crystal Palace, before trading south London for west just after the Covid-19 lockdown, and has been a key part of the 'B' team ever since. Manager Hakan Hayrettin has made his fifth signing since joining the Hamlet by bringing in David Stephens (pictured) on loan from National League side Boreham Wood. The 31-year-old has been with the Wood since October 2015, being an integral part of their defence for much of that time, playing in more than 200 games in the National League. He was also a key part of the side which reached the last 16 of the Emirates FA Cup last season, playing in the 2-0 defeat to Everton at Goodison Park. Prior to joining Wood, Stephens spent three seasons with Barnet in both League Two and the National League, winning the latter in 2015, and has also played in the Scottish Premier League with Hibernian. The former Norwich City youngster has also represented Wales at under-17, 19 and under-21 level. Young midfielder Conor Lawless has also been added to squad for remainder of season The 21-year-old is a midfielder on the books of Championship side Luton Town, having been with the Hatters since 2021. He has already had experience of the National League South this season, having just completed a loan spell with Farnborough, where he made 5 appearances. Lawless came through the youth ranks at Reading, and made his senior debut for the side as a second-half substitute in an FA Cup Third Round tie away, ironically, to Luton in January 2021. This would be his only first-team appearance for the Royals before being released that summer. The midfielder arrives having had a very successful week, as the Luton development squad tasted county cup success on Tuesday night, scoring the first goal in a 6-2 win over Biggleswade FC in the Bedfordshire Senior Cup final at Kenilworth Road.
