QPR Official Site Profile of Delaney - PROFILE: DAMIEN DELANEY
Damien Delaney began his career with Irish side Cork City, before moving to Leicester City in November 2000.
Delaney was signed by then Foxes boss Peter Taylor, who paid £50,000 for his services, yet despite making eight Premiership appearances for the Foxes, he soon spent time on loan at Stockport County and Huddersfield Town.
A further loan spell at Mansfield Town followed, before he joined Hull City in 2002/03.
After a difficult start, in which Delaney was largely played out of position in midfield, the left back proved any doubters wrong with a superb campaign the following season.
He was the only ever-present in the Tigers' promotion campaign and won the Club's Player of the Year, Players' Player of the Year and Supporters' Player of the Year accolades.
Prior to his arrival in W12, the former City skipper featured in all but five of Hull's Championship fixtures in season 2007/08. QPR
