QPR agree Hugill loan extension

A deal has been agreed for Jordan Hugill to stay with QPR for the remainder of the season.

The striker’s season-long loan from West Ham was due to end this month.

It has been extended so that Hugill can remain with Rangers for the rest of the Championship campaign, which is scheduled to restart on 20 June.

Hugill, who recently turned 28, has made 37 Championship appearances for QPR, scoring 11 goals.

Rangers are scheduled to resume with a game at home to Barnsley.

The original fixture was due to take place on 14 March but the season was halted the day beforehand because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Matches were suspended with Rangers unbeaten in six matches and having moved to within six points of the play-off places.

The Barnsley game is scheduled to be followed by London derbies away to Charlton and at home to Fulham on 27 June and 30 June respectively.

The EFL’s planned restart date is provisional, subject to safety requirements being met.[scriptless]
