QPR sign Ravel Morrison on loan from Lazio until the end of the season

Queens Park Rangers have completed the loan signing of Ravel Morrison from Lazio until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old midfielder will stay at Loftus Road for the remainder of the 2016/17 campaign, with QPR having the option to exercise a permanent agreement at the end of the season.

Morrison enjoyed a successful loan spell at QPR during the second half of the 2013/14 season, scoring six goals in 15 appearances for the R's in the Championship as they achieved promotion via the play-offs.

Sky sources reported last week that the former Manchester United and West Ham midfielder was training with the west London club ahead of a possible deal.

Morrison moved to Italy just under a year ago but has not made an appearance for Lazio this season.

He spent time training with Wigan Athletic earlier this month after being invited to the club by his former United youth-team manager and current Latics boss Warren Joyce.

Morrison was tipped for a bright future in the game when he turned professional at Old Trafford at the age of 17 in February 2010.

But in January 2012 the player was sold by United to West Ham, who were then in the Championship, for an undisclosed fee.

During his three-year stint at Upton Park, Morrison was loaned to Birmingham, QPR and Cardiff.
