- Harford added: "He is a very, very talented boy, has great technique and can create chances for himself. He's 6' 2", mobile and a good asset for us.

QPR Official Site - HARFORD HAILS BENT ARRIVAL
- R's boss Mick Harford believes Marcus Bent's arrival will give the R's a much-needed boost in the attacking third.
- Bent has penned a loan deal until the end of the season and Harford is confident the Hammersmith born striker can make an impact in W12.
- "Marcus is a great addition to the squad," he told www.qpr.co.uk.
- "We have searched high and low for the right type of striker, and Marcus became available only the other day so we jumped at the opportunity to bring him in.
- "He's strong, pacy and knows the game.
- "He has played at all levels and has scored plenty of goals both in this division and the Premier League.
- "He's got that burst of pace to get us up the pitch and to turn teams.
- "He can also score tap-ins, which is perhaps what we needed against Scunthorpe on Saturday. We do seem to get ourselves in good positions, and we just need that certain type of striker to finish those chances off."
- Harford added: "I'd like to think Marcus' signing will also give the rest of the squad a bit of a lift. We have been a bit thin on the ground in terms of strikers - on Saturday we had Rowan Vine and Jay Simpson up front, and the only cover we had for them was young Antonio German.
- "So Marcus' arrival will provide real competition for places, which is what we want." QPR


QPR Official Site - BENT 'BUZZING' ABOUT QPR SWITCH
- New R's signing Marcus Bent admits he is buzzing about the chance of playing regularly for QPR and 'can't wait to get started.'

Then I got a call yesterday asking if I would be interested in joining QPR, and I jumped at it.
- "I'm buzzing about coming here. I was brought up in Shepherds Bush and I used to go and watch the likes of Les Ferdinand and Andy Impey with my dad and my uncle.
- "As a kid you often followed the likes of Liverpool, and John Barnes was my idol, but QPR was definitely a team I followed and looked out for."
- Bent added: "There might be a bit of pressure on me to come in and get goals, but I thrive on that to be honest. I think being under pressure beings the best out in you, and I put great demands on myself anyway.
- "I want to play games, that's what you train all week for - to be involved on a matchday. That's every footballer's goal, and is definitely the case with me.
- "I played a few games with Middlesbrough this season, which was great because it really helped with my fitness.
- "Now I am feeling really fit and I am ready to go, I can't wait to get started." QPR
