Defender Larkeche signs new QPR deal

French defender Ziyad Larkeche has signed a new contract with Championship side Queens Park Rangers.

The 22-year-old left-back spent last season on loan at Dundee in the Scottish Premiership and has featured 22 times for the Hoops.

Larkeche joined QPR from Fulham in 2023 after previously coming through the academy at Paris St-Germain.

"This feels amazing, I'm really happy to continue my story with QPR," Larkeche told the club website.

"Last season was definitely a great experience for me, playing week in, week out when you're still a young player is key, and I think that helped me develop a lot.

"I want to keep working and keep improving. I could have stayed at QPR last year but I went there (Dundee) to challenge myself and to test myself. For me, that was really important."

QPR, under new management after Julian Stephan took over from the departing Marti Cifuentes, have not disclosed the length of Larkeche's new deal.
