Attacking midfielder Adel Taarabt has signed a new contract with Queens Park Rangers.

Following a turbulent season both on and off the pitch last season, the 23-year-old's future at Loftus Road had been thrown into doubt this summer.

However, the Moroccan international has insisted that his "love" for the club convinced him to sign on for another four years.

"I am very pleased to have signed this new contract," he told the club's official website.

"When I first arrived here I honestly thought it would just be for a short period but I love this club and the people here have really helped me and I am very happy to be here.

"I had a tough start to the season last year, but I worked hard and I have really enjoyed it under Mark Hughes."

It has also confirmed that Taarabt will wear the number 10 shirt for the club's next season.
