Queens Park Rangers Football Club is delighted to announce the permanent signing of Lee Cook.

The 26 year-old has put pen to paper on a three-and-a-half year deal at Loftus Road, after the R's agreed an undisclosed fee with Fulham for his services.

Having left the R's to join the Cottagers in the summer of 2007, fans favourite Cook returned on loan at the start of the season. He has since gone on to make 26 appearances in all competitions, scoring one goal.

Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, Cook expressed his delight at sealing a dream return to W12: "Everyone knows QPR are my Club and I'm delighted to be back here.

"This Club is really going places and I'm just delighted to be part of what we all hope will be a very successful chapter in its history."

Cook added: "I feel as though I'm getting back to my best and I can't wait for the second half of the season.

"We're in a great position to mount a charge for promotion and as a boyhood fan, it would be a dream to get this Club back to where it belongs in the Premier League."

R's boss Paulo Sousa added: "Lee is an integral part of our future plans and we are delighted to have him here on a permanent contract.

"He's proven at this level, has great quality and gives us excellent options in the attacking third of the pitch."
