New QPR deal for Ramage

New QPR deal for Ramage

Published Jun. 2, 2011 3:15 p.m. ET

Ramage, 27, joined from Newcastle in May 2008 and has to date made 74 appearances for the Loftus Road outfit, although only four of those came last season as he struggled with a troublesome knee injury. He returned to enjoy substitute roles in the final two matches of the promotion-winning campaign and, having signed until next summer, can now look forward to a season in the top flight. "I always wanted to stay here and the gaffer made it clear from the day I got injured that he'd give me a chance, so now it's up to me to repay the faith he's shown in me," Ramage told the club's official website. "I always had confidence I'd get a new deal but it's great to put pen to paper and now I can focus all my attentions on getting ready for pre-season in early July. I feel I've got a point to prove and a lot to offer this football club." Manager Neil Warnock added: "Peter deserves this new contract. Obviously he's got to prove his fitness again in pre-season but someone with his quality, attitude and love for the game is always worth having on board."
