QPR forward Smyth given new contract

By

Paul Smyth scored against Cardiff last season on his QPR debut.

Paul Smyth has signed a new QPR contract.

Smyth’s deal was due to expire next year but he has been given a 12-month extension, meaning he is now under contract at Loftus Road until 2021.

The 21-year-old Northern Ireland international, signed from Linfield in August 2017, impressed after breaking into the R’s first team last season.

However, he has been largely overlooked since Steve McClaren took over as manager last summer.

Smyth has been lined up for a loan move during this month’s transfer window and has not featured in the league since McClaren took him off at half-time against Sheffield United in August.

But he is well liked by the QPR hierarchy, who have been keen to cement his future at the club.
