Leon Balogun Sign for Championship Side QPR - On A Free Transfet

 

The 34-year-old Super Eagle has signed a one-year deal at Loftus Road after two successful seasons at Ibrox

EFL Championship side Queens Park Rangers have confirmed the acquisition of defender Leon Balogun, formerly of Scottish giants Rangers.

The 34-year-old Super Eagle has linked up with head coach Mick Beale, whom he worked with at Ibrox, after penning a one-year contract at Loftus Road.

"Defender Leon Balogun has joined QPR," the club confirmed on their official website.

"The free agent has agreed a one-year deal at Loftus Road following his departure from Glasgow Rangers at the end of last season."

Speaking after penning the deal, Balogun explained his excitement at linking up with Beale once again.

“It is a big relief to know I can get back to action and I am looking forward to it,” Balogun told the same portal in his first interview.

“We have been speaking for some weeks so I am happy we got it done.

“The manager is one of the main factors for me. When he left Rangers I messaged him and said in terms of a football brain he is one of the best I have worked with.

“He is obsessed with football and what I always admire about him is the way he treated the players, and the way he got ideas into your mind.
