Queens Park Rangers confirm the signing of Jake Bidwell from Championship and London rivals Brentford on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Queens Park Rangers have confirmed the signing of Brentford left-back Jake Bidwell for an undisclosed fee.

The 23-year-old, who captained the Bees in the Championship last season, has agreed a three-year contract at Loftus Road.

Bidwell told QPR's official website: "I just felt now was a good time for me to move on from Brentford - and QPR felt like the right fit.

"When I spoke to Jimmy [Floyd Hasselbaink] and Les [Ferdinand] about football, we were on the same wavelength straight away. Now it's down to me to repay the faith of them both and show the QPR fans what I can do for the club.

"I feel I can go on and improve as a player here and take my game to the next level, so that's something I'm excited about. I'm just looking forward to getting going, meeting everyone, and cracking on with it."

Bidwell becomes the club's third summer signing after Joel Lynch and Ariel Borysiuk.
