Matthew Henry Hislop (born 31 January 1987 in Wolverhampton) is an English former professional footballer who played in the Football League for Queens Park Rangers. He started his career as a youth player with Arsenal before moving to QPR in 2005.

His one and only first-team appearance for QPR was in their 2–1 win over Leicester City at the Walkers Stadium in September 2005 in a Championship match. He did originally impress but was stretchered off midway in the second half with a suspected broken ankle. Despite initial fears, the injury was not as bad as reported and he made a fairly quick recovery.

In the summer of 2006 it was announced Hislop would be leaving the club, but then was re-signed for the 2006–07 season. In January 2007 it was announced Hislop would be leaving the club by mutual consent.

International career

Hislop made two appearances for the England under-16 in 2002 and featured in the Victory Shield.[1]
