England goalkeeper Rob Green has joined English Premier League outfit Queens Park Rangers on a two year contract.He has been in talks with Rangers’ manager Mark Hughes for some time and will join the Loftus Road club when his contract with Premier League returnees West Ham expires at the end of the month.
Green is currently at Euro 2012 as part of the England squad and having made over 480 club appearances during his professional career, Hughes is looking forward to having a player of his calibre at his disposal.
“Rob is someone with vast experience at international and Premier League level and his pedigree speaks for itself,” Hughes said. ”Paddy Kenny was first choice goalkeeper at the club last season and it was important that we brought another quality ‘keeper into the group. Rob’s got all the characteristics of a top ‘keeper and he’ll be a huge addition for us, who will stimulate the goalkeeping group, which can only be good for the squad as a whole.”
Green had spent six seasons at Upton Park, but has spoken of his happiness at joining Rangers: ”I’m delighted to be here,” Green said. “I’m excited about the challenge ahead and hugely encouraged by the direction in which the owners and Mark Hughes are looking to take the club. I can’t wait to get started.”
