SIGNS: Alex Smithies with QPR Director of Football Les Ferdinand
“QPR is the ideal opportunity for me. I have worked hard and now is the time for a new challenge. Being at a club that was recently in the Premier League, there is going to be a lot of expectation to push on and improve, and I think I will thrive off that.
“QPR want to bring in young players who are hungry for the game and want to do well for the club, and I certainly fit that bill.”
QPR’s Director of Football, Les Ferdinand, said: “We’re really pleased Alex has agreed to join us.
“He’s a proven Championship performer and the goalkeeping coach at the club, whose opinion I value highly, rates him as a very capable keeper.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming him into the squad.”
Smithies will be eligible to feature for the R’s in Saturday’s Championship fixture against Rotherham United.
