Karl Henry feels he's proved himself at QPR.
The 32-year-old was offered loan moves back to Championship clubs in order to guarantee first team football.
He said: "Fortunately for me, I have found an opportunity and shown people that I'm more than capable of bringing something to the table at this level.
"When we came back for pre-season, reading between the lines, it was going to be tough for me to get any game-time with the amount of midfielders we signed.
"I knew there were opportunities to go out on loan to other clubs, which is something I didn't want to do. I wanted to stay here and fight for my place."
