Matt Smith has scored only nine times in 53 games for Fulham

QPR have completed the signing of Fulham striker Matt Smith on a three-and -a-half year deal for an undisclosed fee.

It is understood Rangers will pay an initial £500,000 fee, possibly rising to an eventual £1m based on incentives.

The Birmingham-born forward signed for Fulham for £500,000 in 2014 but struggled to establish himself under a succession of managers.

He only made 20 Championship starts for the club across three seasons, and spent time on loan at Bristol City in 2014-15, where he scored 13 goals in 20 appearances. For Fulham he has only scored nine times in 53 games.

Sky sources understand Fulham still want to sign a new striker before Tuesday's deadline and are interested in Jordan Rhodes, but consider his price too expensive at £9m.
