Former Fulham striker Johnson excited about QPR move

Andy Johnson is looking forward to getting started for QPR after finalising his two-year move to the club today.

The 31-year old striker has departed Fulham after his contract expired and will now suit up for the R's under his old Cottagers boss Mark Hughes which is something he is excited about.

"I have worked closely with Mark before and there are also players here that I have played with previously, including Bobby Zamora and Shaun Derry," Johnson told the club's official website.

"Those were factors in me joining, but this is a big, big club.

"I have spoken to the chairman and Mark, who both have great ambition for QPR, and it is something that I wanted to be a part of.

"Mark told me about the plans for a new training ground and how the club wants to go forward. That really excited me."
