George Thomas joins QPR

Queens Park Rangers have completed the signing of Welshman George Thomas on a three-year deal, with the option of extending it by a further 12 months.

The 23-year-old was released by Leicester City last month having not played a first-team match in his three years with the club.

He spent the 2018/19 season on loan at Scunthorpe United, which saw them get relegated to League Two. He made 40 appearances and scored three goals for the Iron.

QPR manager Mark Warburton told the club website: “He is a very talented young player who I know is very highly thought of by the Welsh staff.

“He has flexibility in his position on the pitch and a real hunger about how he plays the game.

“He has shown his quality during loan spells and is more than ready to make this step up in his career. I have no doubt he will positively impact the club.”

Thomas, who has three international caps for Wales, is Rangers’ first signing of the summer.
