Cultured centre-half Matt Connolly will be hoping to prove his worth during this year's Premier League campaign after impressing for the R's last season.
And few would be surprised if Connolly did cut it at the very highest level, with the defender's immeasurable composure on the ball a key part of his game.
His central-defensive partnership with Kaspars Gorkss was one of many success stories for Rangers last season, with Connolly featuring on 37 occasions in all competitions for QPR last term.
Connolly penned a three-and-a-half year deal with the R's in January 2008.
A product of the successful Arsenal academy, Connolly has since gone on to feature regularly for Rangers and, prior the QPR's promotion back to the big time last season, was regarded as one of the hottest talents outside of the top-flight.
