QPR midfielder Michael Doughty is heading to Peterborough after a deal was thrashed out between the clubs.
The 24-year-old has landed a three-year deal to be part of Grant McCann’s squad in League One next season.
Posh will pay a nominal fee for the ex-Wales Under-21 international, who was on loan at Swindon last season.
Doughty has also completed short-term deals in the third tier with Stevenage and Gillingham but is now set to move on a permanent.
The midfielder made his Premier League debut for QPR back in February 2015.
He was brought on as substitute by then caretaker managers Chris Ramsey and Kevin Bond at Sunderland and helped them to their first away win of the season.

McCann is putting a squad together for a promotion push and believes Doughty can play a key role.
Posh have already signed Jonathan Bond on loan from Reading and Josh Tibbetts from Birmingham to compete for the No1 jersey.
They have also raided non-league to snap up Ricky Miller from Dover Athletic and Danny Lloyd from Stockport.
McCann is aiming for quality over quality this season in his attempts to get to the Championship.
He said: “We will have the drive and determination in the squad next season that we were lacking last season.
“We have had targets in mind for a long time, but we’ve been patient in our pursuit of them.
“Our targets are wanted by other clubs, so it’s been a case of saying the right things to the player, the agent and their current clubs.”
