Kenny Jackett will be returning to his old club for more than one face with the name Marcus Bean joining that of Kevin Mcleod high on his wanted list after the club had a bid accepted for the latter.
Bean, a 20 year old midfielder has featured in the Rangers first team this season after being crowned as their young player of the year last season as they won promotion from what was then the second division.
His only goal of the season came at the end of August when he was on target to give them a 1-0 win at Gillingham in the championship.
This is what the QPR official site has to say about him: -
Marcus has come up through the youth ranks at Rangers after first joining the club as an 11-year-old.
A classy and combative midfielder, he made his debut as a substitute at Wycombe in August 2002 only to suffer the ignominy of a second half red card in a game that saw four players receive their marching orders.
His first start came in a comprehensive 4-0 victory at Mansfield a fortnight later and although he made only eight league and cup appearances throughout 2002-03, his obvious talent and composure mark him out as a great prospect for the future.
Marcus Bean was last season's big find, but for those involved in the development of the young midfielder, he did nothing more than live up to the coaching staff's high valuation of what he could bring to Rangers' promotion winning squad.
Twelve months on and it is a very different Marcus Bean who takes his place in the Rangers line up. Of a young player, often consistency is the biggest variable. Of the committed, like Bean, effort will always be without question.
Last season saw Bean awarded Rangers' Young Player of the Year, an accolade he earned with his energetic style and break-up play, which allowed the more skilled-of-foot to create the play which saw Rangers' Promoted to the Championship.
