South Africa international looks to kick-start career with move

Benni McCarthy is hoping to end his West Ham nightmare with a move to Championship leaders QPR. The 33-year-old played in a behind-closed-doors match for Rangers reserves against Tottenham. Spurs fielded a strong line up that included Robbie Keane, Jamie O'Hara and Jonathan Woodgate. McCarthy managed to score as the Hoops' second string were thumped 9-2 to give Neil Warnock something to think about.

Reinforce

Warnock is looking to reinforce his attack after strikers Jamie Mackie and Patrick Agyemang both suffered broken legs. McCarthy joined the Hammers last January from Blackburn Rovers for £2.5million but he has yet to open his account for the club. He has made just 13 appearances for West Ham, with 10 of those coming as a substitute. And McCarthy's on-going weight problems have been a problem during his time at Upton Park.
