Jim Magilton wore a broad smile this evening (Tuesday) after clinching the signing of Argentinean ace Alejandro Faurlin.

The 22 year-old midfielder has penned a three year deal - subject to international clearance - and becomes Magilton's first signing at Loftus Road.

"We've been watching the lad for some time. John (Gorman) recognised him a long time ago," Magilton revealed to www.qpr.co.uk.

"We've seen him in action and on DVD's and assessed what he's about, but having him here for the last few days has given us a chance to see what he's really like and we've been impressed.

"He plays central midfield. He's got a lovely left foot, a great work ethic and in a 46 game season, he'll be a valuable player for us."

Magilton added: "We knew about his quality and ability, but his attitude over the last few days has been great too.

"I've signed an Argentinean before and the attitude and the hunger is apparent with Alejandro, as it was with (Luciano) Civelli.

"It's all happened pretty quickly, but we're delighted to have him here. He'll bring extra quality to the squad, there's no doubt about that."
