QPR confirm popular duo’s departure

QPR have confirmed that Clint Hill and Alejandro Faurlin are leaving the club.

West London Sport revealed on Monday that manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has indicated that out-of-contract trio Faurlin, Hill and Karl Henry are not part of his plans and that Junior Hoilett, whose contract also expires this summer, has told the he club he wants to leave.

Rangers say Henry – who could be retained as a squad player – and Hoilett are in discussions about a new contract.

The club have also confirmed that Rob Green, Samba Diakite, Yun Suk-Young, Armand Traore and Oscar Gobern, whose contracts are about to expire too, are leaving.

Hoilett is eyeing a return to the Premier League

Midfielder Faurlin is a huge fans favourite and the Rangers hierarchy were keen for him to be retained.

He has been at Loftus Road for seven eventful years, during which he has suffered three cruciate injuries.

Faurlin played a key role in QPR’s promotion to the Premier League in 2011 – a triumph that was confirmed only after the club escaped a points deduction for breaching regulations in the deal to sign him from Argentinean outfit Instituto two years earlier.

Henry has been at QPR since 2013

Hill also played an important role in that promotion and the one three years later – the play-off victory against Derby means he is the only player other than 1967 League Cup-winning captain Mike Keen to lead a QPR team up the Wembley steps to collect a trophy.

The 37-year-old joined Rangers on a free transfer from Crystal Palace in 2010 and has made 185 appearances for the club.

Henry, 33, was signed in 2013 and last summer decided to take up an option in his two-year deal that entitled him to further year’s contract.
