Queens Park Rangers have snapped up Gavin Mahon from Championship rivals Watford.

Mahon has moved to Loftus Road initially on loan with a view to a permanent deal.

The 30-year-old has dropped down the pecking order at Vicarage Road this season and Hornets boss Aidy Boothroyd is willing to let him move on.

Mahon, who is set to go straight into the QPR squad to face Leicester on Tuesday, is excited at the prospect of playing for ambitious Rangers.

Exciting

"It's a very exciting time to be joining this club," Mahon told the club's official website.

"There were four or five other Championship sides that showed an interest, but once I'd spoken to the chairman, Gianni Paladini, there was never any doubt in my mind I'd be joining Rangers.

"The ambition and drive of the board and the new investors really impressed me and I'm delighted to be here."
