QPR have completed the signing of Aston Villa right-back Luke Young for an undisclosed fee.
Young has signed a three-year deal at Loftus Road, joining Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton as the second player to sign for the west London club since AirAsia boss Tony Fernandes completed his takeover of the club last week.
"I am ready for a new challenge," he told the club's official website.
"There are big things that are going to happen at this football club and I am really pleased to be a part of it.
"Myself and Joey signing here shows the intent of the club.
"I am really looking forward to getting started and pulling on the blue and white shirt."
The former Tottenham defender has won seven England caps during his career and QPR manager Neil Warnock believes his experience is a great bonus for the squad.
"I've been looking for a defender with vast Premier League experience for a while now and Luke certainly fits the bill," he said.
"He can play anywhere across the back four and that versatility will stand us in really good stead.
"Moving back home to London will also serve him well and I'm really looking forward to seeing him in action for us - he's got so much to give and his experience will be vital."
