GEOFF Cameron has re-joined QPR on a free transfer from Stoke City, signing a one-year deal with the option of a further year.

Versatile Geoff made 19 appearances, scoring one goal, while on loan with the R’s last term.

Now the American ace is back in W12 on a permanent basis, with Rangers incidentally set to kick off their new Sky Bet Championship campaign at Stoke a week on Saturday.

“It’s great to be back,” Cameron told www.qpr.co.uk. “I really enjoyed my time here last year – it’s a family-orientated environment and this move is the best fit for myself and my family.

“The manager (Mark Warburton) wants to get the ball down and play good football. Hopefully myself and Angel [Rangel], who has also come back, can use our experience to help what is a young squad.

“I’m here to help the team in any way that I can – whether that’s leadership on the pitch or off it as well.

“For me, I’m excited for this role and I’m excited to be here. I just want to enjoy my football, like I did here last season.”

He continued: “The fans have been great with me. I’ve seen a few Tweets – one guy said that if I signed permanently then he’d get a tattoo of me on his leg!

“The fans have been super supportive, and I’ve had lots of nice messages since the end of last season.

“I’m really happy to be back.”

Rangers boss Mark Warburton is looking forward to having Cameron’s nous around the squad once more, adding: “Geoff is someone who knows the club.

“He brings experience to the group and he also brings Premier League quality.

“He is well-known by both the fans and the players, and his physicality is an asset as well.

“We’re delighted to welcome Geoff back to QPR.”
