"People say never go back, but I feel as though I've got some unfinished business here and under the guidance of Les [Ferdinand] and Chris [Ramsey], I can only see a bright future for this club.

"They know I'll come in and give my absolute maximum and – having in played in front of the QPR fans before – I know that's exactly what they love to see. It's great to be back."
