Rangers have completed the signing of Italian left back Mauro Milanese.
The hugely experienced 33-year-old put pen to paper on a one-year deal at the Harlington training ground and will be available for selection
ahead of this weekend's Championship opener at Hull.
Milanese, who passed a medical this morning, has previously starred for Inter Milan, Parma, Napoli and Torino in his native country .
He helped his last club Perugia to promotion to Serie A in 2004-05 before making the switch to England and will provide competition
for the left back berth following the departure of Gino Padula at the end of last season.
He becomes Ian Holloway's seventh signing of the summer, following the arrival of Simon Royce, Tommy Doherty, Ian Evatt, Stefan Moore, Marc Nygaard and Ugo Ukah
and, having been keen on a move to England, Milanese is delighted to be here.
"I've always watched English football and enjoyed it and I wanted to come here for a different experience," he admitted.
"I asked Fabrizio Ravanelli about playing in England and he put me in touch with Gianni Paladini who offered me the opportunity to come to QPR.
"This is something I've been hoping to do for the last three or four years. I'm really looking forward to the new season and I hope to play well."
