The 23-year-old former Tottenham player has penned a three-and-a-half year deal.

'I'm absolutely thrilled to be here,' Routledge told the official QPR website. 'I am delighted to have sealed the move.

'QPR are a club with huge ambitions and as soon as they showed interest in me I was determined to speak to them.'

Routledge, who has also played for England Under-21s, started his career at Crystal Palace before moving to Tottenham in 2005. -- AFP
