Midfielder Gavin Mahon is aiming to return from a long-term injury to earn a new deal at QPR.

Veteran midfielder keen to earn new contract at Loftus Road

Gavin Mahon is aiming to earn a new deal at QPR after manager Neil Warnock gave him a chance to prove his worth in pre-season. Mahon has yet to play a competitive game in 2010 after undergoing knee surgery last November and Warnock is keen to see the 33-year-old, who is out of contract this summer, in action. The former Watford midfielder is determined to make the most of his chance. He told the Uxbridge Gazette: "I had a meeting with Neil and he told me that he had tried to sign me before and that he liked me as a player. "But he needs to see me fit and I understand that completely. "He said that I should come back in pre-season and show him the kind of player that he thinks I can be. If I do that then there will be something here for me. "If if I moved somewhere else then I would have to get myself fit regardless, but I want to stay here as I believe that the club could take off next season."
