Hoilett tells QPR he wants to leave

Junior Hoilett has told QPR he wants to leave the club and has no interest in signing a new deal.

Manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has indicated that out-of-contract trio Alejandro Faurlin, Clint Hill and Karl Henry are not part of his plans.

But he wanted to keep Hoilett, whose contract also expires this summer.

However, the Canadian, who was signed in 2012, believes he will return to the Premier League, and has no intention of re-signing.

Swansea City were offered Hoilett, 25, but declined to sign him when he was made available on a free transfer last summer, but they now appear to be interested. 

Midfielder Faurlin is a huge fans favourite and the Rangers hierarchy are keen for him to be retained.

He has been at Loftus Road for seven eventful years, during which he has suffered three cruciate injuries.

Faurlin played a key role in QPR’s promotion to the Premier League in 2011 – a triumph that was confirmed only after the club escaped a points deduction for breaching regulations in the deal to sign him from Argentinean outfit Instituto two years earlier.

Hill also played an important role in that promotion and the one three years later – the play-off victory against Derby means he is the only player other than 1967 League Cup-winning captain Mike Keen to lead a QPR team up the Wembley steps to collect a trophy.

The 37-year-old joined Rangers on a free transfer from Crystal Palace in 2010 and has made 185 appearances for the club.

Henry, 33, was signed in 2013 and last summer decided to take up an option in his two-year deal that entitled him to a further year’s contract.

Other players approaching the end of their QPR contract include Samba Diakite, Armand Traore and keeper Rob Green, who will all certainly leave.
