Tony Thorpe
The Striker whos 31 next month arrives at Millmoor initially on a months loan, but with the striker out of contract at Loftus Rd in the summer, it will the with the view of a permanant deal.

Thope has been struck by injurys this season and that has limited his appearences for the London club to just 9 appearance's with 7 of those coming off the bench.

This is how the QPR-Mad site describes Thorpe Thorpey" or "Thorpedo" is everyone’s definition of a striker. The "fox-in-the-box" Thorpey always pops up at the right time to score goals. A neat and tidy player he is also very influential in the build-up to attacks. He combines well with quick feet and his eye for goal is excellent. His career has included two spells at Luton as well as stays at Bristol City and Fulham and he has netted well over 150 career goals. The much-travelled poacher averages a goal every other game. Signed from Luton last autumn he made an immediate impact and is now part of the "fab four" strikers Rangers boast.
