Polish international defender Martin Kus has signed a six month loan with the Hoops, with a view to signing a permanent deal at Loftus Road in the summer.

The 24-year-old, who has been capped twice by his country and is being tipped to force his way into the Polish World Cup squad this summer, is predominantly a right sided defender, who can also play at centre half.

"It's a good day for me. I'm pleased to have joined QPR.
"I'm hoping to force my way into the World Cup squad and playing for Rangers will enhance my chances.
"I'm looking forward to playing in front of the Rangers fans for the first time.''

Kus made his full international debut against Belgium in 2003 and just last month played a B international against Scotland.

Rangers beat off stiff opposition from fellow Championship sides Reading and Leeds United for the signature of the tall Polonia Warsaw man, to the delight of Chairman Gianni Paladini.

"He's a player Ian Holloway has been interested in for a while and we're delighted to have him on board.
"He'll be a very good addition to the squad.
"We're always looking for players of Martin's calibre and class to take the club forward.''

Kus should be available to make his debut against Luton Town next weekend.
