QPR have annouced the signing of former Stoke defender Morgan Fox on a two-year deal.

The 29-year-old, who can play at left back and left-sided central defender, has arrived at Loftus Road after his contract with the Potters expired and is Rangers' fourth summer signing following the acquisitions of Paul Smyth, Ziyad Larkeche and Asmir Begovic.

Boss Gareth Ainsworth told the Sky Bet Championship club's official website: "I've said from the moment I came in that experience is lacking a little bit in this squad. We have got some fantastic young talent here but it needs some leadership and Morgan definitely brings that.

"He is a warrior and brings much-needed experience. Morgan is only 29 and there is no reason why he can't have a really good stint here and he brings healthy competition to that backline."

Fox, who began his career at Charlton and spent three seasons at the bet 365 Stadium after a spell at Sheffield Wednesday, revealed his excitement at the challenge presented to him by Ainsworth.

He said: "You can tell the direction the club is going in. The manager explained his plans for the team and for me personally and it is an exciting opportunity. I will be looking to use my experience to push this squad forward."
