QPR LADIES have completed their first transfer business of the summer with the addition of three new signings.





Attacking duo Katie Wilding and Leanne Mabey have both arrived from Enfield Town while former Leicester City defender Lauren Gage has also put pen to paper on a one-year contract.





All three starred on Sunday as Martino Chevannes' charges made the perfect start to life back in the South East Women's Combination League, running out 3-1 winners on the opening weekend of the season.





No side managed fewer goals in the Premier League South than QPR last season but assistant boss Tony Smith is hopeful Wilding - who netted 25 times last term - and Mabey can spearhead a promotion push this time around as the R's plan an immediate return at the first attempt.





"They are exactly what we've been missing," Smith told www.qpr.co.uk. "Last season we were guilty of wasting a hatful of chances so attack was an area we were keen to strengthen.





"They will make a huge difference to the side this season."





Meanwhile, Gage made an instant impact by netting on her competitive debut with the R's second goal in Sunday's victory.





The centre-half (pictured in pre-season action against Trinidad & Tobago) should prove a ready-made replacement for former club captain Jade Dempster, who faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines through injury.
