QPR sign Conor Washington from Peterborough on three-and-a-half-year deal

Queens Park Rangers sign Conor Washington from Peterborough United on three-and-a-half-year deal.

Queens Park Rangers have signed Conor Washington from Peterborough United on a three-and-a-half-year deal.

The 23-year-old has joined the Championship outfit after scoring 15 goals, 14 of which came in his last 19 appearances for the League One outfit this season.

"As a striker, having someone like Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink here as manager was a massive pull for me," Washington told the club's official website. "He's been there, seen it and done it at the very highest level and that can only benefit me as a player.

"I feel I've improved as a player over the last 18 months. My mentality has changed and I'm a better player for it. But I also feel there's a lot more to come from me and I believe I can properly go on to fulfil my potential at QPR.

"I know I've still got a long way to go in my development but I'm relishing the chance to prove my worth. I've proved I can do it at every level I've played at so far, so I don't see any reason why I can't do it here with QPR. I can't wait to pull on the QPR shirt and show the fans what I'm capable of."

Hasselbaink added: "Conor is a player I've admired for a while now, so I'm delighted he's agreed to join us. I've seen first-hand what he's capable of and his all round game has always impressed me. Of course he's still got a lot to learn - he's by no means the finished article = but I am convinced he has what it takes to succeed at a higher level with us.

"He's raw, he's hungry, he's determined. He's quick and he's versatile, which is important. He can play on his own up there; in a two; or on the shoulder of another striker. He's got great pace to get in behind and that's something we need when you look at our current attacking options.

"Importantly, he's got the right mentality to be a QPR player. He is relishing the opportunity to play for this club and he wants to wear the shirt with pride."

Washington could make his debut in Saturday's clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Loftus Road.
