QPR have officially announced that Paul Smyth has signed a new contract, keeping the 28-year-old Northern Ireland international at the club for the foreseeable future. Smyth, who was in the final year of his previous deal, has been a key player for the Rangers since his return in 2023, following a two-year stint at Leyton Orient.
West London Sport first reported on the contract negotiations (https://www.westlondonsport.com/qpr/new-contracts-for-qpr-trio) and later confirmed that a deal was imminent (https://www.westlondonsport.com/qpr/qpr-remain-in-talks-with-smyth). The club was prepared to sell Smyth during the January transfer window if an agreement couldn't be reached.
Since his return, Smyth has made 104 Championship appearances, with 17 of those coming this season. Despite facing competition from other attacking players, he has remained an integral part of the squad, showcasing his versatility and importance to the team.
Smyth's journey with QPR began in 2017 when he was signed from Linfield. After a successful first spell, he returned to Loftus Road in 2023, where he has continued to impress. His ability to adapt and contribute to the team's success has made him a fan favorite and a valuable asset for the club.
As QPR looks to build on its recent success, Smyth's new contract is a significant step forward. With his talent and dedication, he is poised to continue his impact on the team, helping the club achieve its goals in the upcoming seasons.
