QPR attacker Paul Smyth has joined League One side Accrington Stanley on loan until the end of the season.

Smyth, 21, signed a one-year extension to his contract last week extending his stay at Loftus Road until 2021.

And now the Northern Ireland international has moved to the Wham Stadium until the end of the 2018/19 season as he bids to gain further first-team experience.

Stanley are currently 14th in the table and host Derby County in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday, a match he is eligible for.

The diminutive forward has made 19 appearances for the R’s, scoring two goals.
