EXCLUSIVE: R'S SIGN TOFAS

Posted on: Mon 01 Nov 2010

Queens Park Rangers have swooped to bring former AEK Athens midfielder Georgios Tofas to the Club on a deal which runs until the end of the season.

The 21 year-old Cypriot joins Rangers as a free agent following his release from Anathorsis Famagusta.

Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, Tofas - who has been on trial with Neil Warnock's side for the last few weeks - expressed his delight at joining the R's, commenting: "I'm so happy and excited.

"QPR is such a big Club and I'm happy to be here.

"I'll give my best for the Club.

"My first objective is to get into the team and then show the boss and the supporters what I am capable of."

Warnock told http://www.qpr.co.uk: "Georgios is somebody was has excited me when I have watched him.

"He looks like our type of player - he can take men on, yet he knows he has to work hard for the rest of the team. He has got the right work ethic.

"The chance to bring him in until the end of the season was too good an opportunity for me to turn down."

Tofas, who describes himself as an 'offensive player,' is currently sidelined with a minor hamstring injury but is expected to return to full training in the next 10 days.

The deal is subject to the Club receiving international clearance for the player.
