1 Clint Hill

QPR will offer defender Clint Hill a new deal at the club before his current contract ends in the summer.

The centre-back has formed a solid partnership with Richard Dunne in the heart of the Rangers’ back-line this season and is a fans’ favourite at Loftus Road after wearing his heart on his sleeve and giving honest opinions when the club has faced difficult times.

Hill has stated that he is interested in becoming a coach at the west London side when his playing days are over and manager Harry Redknapp has given him a glowing endorsement.

“I’m sure he will eventually (become a coach), but he can still play,” he said.

“We’re looking to give him another year as a player. The club need to keep him here because he’s invaluable as a person and as a player.

“He’s a fantastic competitor but he’s also a very, very good footballer with real quality and a great left foot.

“He can pass, he can play and is a fantastic professional – an amazing, top-class guy.”
