QPR have confirmed that Alejandro Faurlin and Clint Hill are among the players leaving the club this summer.

West London Sport revealed on Monday morning that manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink had indicated that out-of-contract trio Faurlin, Hill and Karl Henry were not in his plans, while Junior Hoilett has told the club he wants to leave.

Faurlin later confirmed his departure with a message on social media in which he thanked fans for their support.

Rangers subsequently announced the duo’s exit and say they are in contract talks with Henry – who could be retained as a squad player – and Hoilett.

News that Hill and Faurlin have reached the end of the line at QPR was greeted with dismay by many fans on Twitter.
