Very surprised and disappointed to see the likes of Rafferty Pedder being released!
News from the Club...

'AS PREPARATIONS for the future continue at QPR, the club will be releasing ten players from the
Development Squad when their contracts expire on 30th June.

Goalkeeper Harry Cant, defenders Arkell Jude-Boyd, Trent Rendall and Deon Woodman, midfielder
Samuel Sackey and forwards Hamzad Kargbo, Nathan Jeche, Micah Anthony, Joseph Ajose and Rafferty Pedder
will all be moving on.

CEO Christian Nourry said: “Actions of this nature are tough, especially when you have a number of players
who have been with the club for a considerable period of time.

"However, it is important such decisions are made, not only for the club but also to give the departing players
the best chance of fulfilling their careers elsewhere.

“On behalf of QPR, I would like to sincerely thank them all for their efforts whilst with us and we wish them
every success for the future.”

Dialogue continues with other members of the Development Squad and further information regarding this will
be communicated in due course.'

Good luck to all of them in their future careers...

I hope we don’t live to regret some of these departures.
After such a good season for them very surprising and surprising the likes of Pedder are released.
I suppose most are 21/22 age group so making way for U18’s and trialists.
Fortunately we didn’t do the same in the mid sixties as they formed the backbone of our rise from relative obscurity!
