QPR teenage midfielder Michael Doughty will spend six months on-loan with League Two Crawley. The 18 year old has been training with Town since Monday and will go straight into their squad for Saturday's trip to Torquay.
Boss Steve Evans was delighted with Doughty's arrival, telling the club's official website: "Michael came on as a substitute in our match with QPR two weeks ago and he was exceptional.
"We tracked him from last season and I knew Neil (Warnock, QPR manager) would have a number of clubs chasing him but he is our player now. He has a lovely left foot, takes defenders on and I think he will be a very good signing for us."
Doughty himself acknowledged the interest he had received from other clubs.
"This is an important decision for me at this stage of my career but having spoke to Steve and seen for myself the quality of players here I wanted to sign for Crawley," he added.
