Fans' favourite Gareth Ainsworth joined QPR after being released from Cardiff City in June 2003.
The bustling midfielder's contribution to the Rangers cause has been without question ever since, providing leadership and guile, as well as priceless assists and match-winning goals.
Despite two serious injuries during the 2006/07 campaign, Ainsworth returned stronger than ever last season, making 25 appearances in all competitions.
After a brief stint assisting former Manager Luigi De Canio, the experienced midfielder was handed a player / coach role by former boss Iain Dowie in the summer of 2008.
Ainsworth went on to enjoy two stints at Caretaker boss, as well as working under ex-gaffer Paulo Sousa.
