R'S YOUNGSTER Tom Hitchcock has returned to QPR following a successful loan spell at Crewe Alexandra.





Hitchcock's emergency loan deal at Gresty Road was due to expire on January 7th, but with the Railwaymen not involved in league or cup action this weekend, the two clubs have reached agreement for the 21 year-old to return earlier than scheduled.





The diminutive striker, who is available for selection when the R's take on Everton in the FA Cup third round at Goodison Park this weekend, scored three goals in six games for the Alex.
