QPR have completed the signing of Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha on a four-and-a-half-year deal.
The 25-year-old had been little more than a fringe player at City and now links up with former manager Mark Hughes at Loftus Road.
Onuoha becomes Hughes' second signing following the recent addition of AC Milan's Taye Taiwo and moves for an undisclosed fee, which is understood to be in the region of £2.5million.
Hughes told the club's official website: "Nedum is a player I know very well. He did very well for me at Manchester City and played a number of games, probably more than under any other manager.
"Nedum is very versatile. He can play centre-back or right-back and has good pace. He is a very good addition to the squad. It's important we are able to attract good players here. Nedum had other options but his experience with myself and the other guys here was a big factor in why he has come to us. I am pleased about that."
Onuoha added: "This was the right time for me to join a club like QPR. The manager obviously played a massive factor in my decision to come here. I've worked with him before and he always wants players around him who are open and honest. The ambition of the owners was really appealing. This is my club now and I'll give everything to help us succeed."

Good Luck Lad. You made the right decision. City aren't into letting their own play for them they would rather buy Mercenaries from all over the world. Yet another City youngster leaves the mancini fold
good luck mate, always thought you would make it, liked you from first game you played for city. much better than some current crop we have, best wishes to you
