(Reuters) - Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar has joined Toronto FC on a season-long loan deal from English second tier side Queens Park Rangers, the Major League Soccer club said on their website (www.torontofc.ca) on Friday.

The move ends a difficult spell for the former Inter Milan stopper, who has kept his place as Brazil's first choice in the run up to this year's World Cup despite falling out of favour in England under QPR manager Harry Redknapp.
