QPR have completed the signing of Fulham striker Matt Smith on a three-and-a-half year deal.

Smith has started just one game this season and arrives at Loftus Road for an initial fee in the region of £500,000 which could rise to £1million if certain clauses are met.

Earlier this month Ian Holloway outlined his intention to bring a forward to the club before the January transfer deadline and turned to Smith after failing to land Roterham striker Danny Ward.

“QPR is a club with a terrific history and heritage so it’s a big honour for me to be a QPR player,” Smith told www.qpr.co.uk, “I’m delighted to be here and want to take this fantastic opportunity with both hands.

“I want to get back playing regularly and help QPR win games. If my goals can contribute to that, then all the better, but as long as we’re winning games, that’s the most important thing.

“I can’t wait to experience what it will feel like to pull on a Rangers shirt and play in front of the fans at Loftus Road.”
