QPR have signed Sheffield United midfielder Mikele Leigertwood for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old has put pen to paper on a three-year contract at Loftus Road and goes straight into the squad to face Saints at Loftus Road tomorrow.

Hoops manager John Gregory said: "Since the injury to Simon Walton, the midfield area is one we have been trying hard to fill.

"Mikele is an outstanding athlete and footballer who can come straight into the team in that position and I think he is a quality acquisition for the club".
