Crystal Palace loan Queens Park Rangers' Gavin Mahon

Crystal Palace have taken Gavin Mahon on loan from Queens Park Rangers until the end of the season.

Mahon, 34, has not featured for the Championship leaders this season but will add some much-needed experience to Palace's fight against relegation.

"I'm very much pleased to have joined. It's been stop-start for me this season and I need to be playing in and amongst the first team," Mahon said.

"If I can give some input off the pitch as well as on it that will be great."

The veteran was released by the club in the summer but rejoined in October on a short-term deal. His last first-team game was on 7 November 2009.

Freedman Swoops For One More On Deadline Day

Crystal Palace are delighted to announce the signing of Gavin Mahon on loan from Queens Park Rangers until the end of the season.

Mahon will link up with Dougie Freedman's squad ahead of Palace's next fixture against Barnsley at Selhurst Park on 2 April.

An experienced defensive midfielder, Mahon made 40 appearances for QPR in the 2008/09 season and took over captaincy duties in the absence of regular club captain Martin Rowlands. A hugely reliable player, who has been described as a midfield general, Mahon also captained the Watford side who won promotion to the Premier League in 2005/06.

Gavin said: "I'm very much pleased to have joined. I used to live over Oxted way so I know the area well. It's been stop-start for me this season and I need to be playing and in and amongst the first team. If I can give some input off the pitch as well as on it that will be great."

Qasn't Rowlands supposed to go there?

Still, mahon's been brilliant this season, shame to lose him.

all those contract extensions he got issued by the club was probably a worth while admin exercise for our transfer team.
