QPR winger Albert Adomah will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season.

The former Ghana international came off the bench in his side's 4-0 thrashing of Leeds to become the Championship's all-time leading appearance-maker with 525 games.

The result secured QPR's Championship status for next season.

Adomah, 36, joined the Hoops in 2020 after being released by Nottingham Forest and has scored six goals in 129 appearances for the club.

"It's been unbelievable, amazing - I get chills when I think about the four seasons I've enjoyed here," he told the club's website., external

"To end it in the way I have done [by breaking the Championship appearance record] is incredible.

"It's a milestone I've been waiting to break and to be given the opportunity to do so by the gaffer [Marti Cifuentes] last Friday, in my final home game and in front of the mighty super Hoops supporters - thank you. Words can't describe it."

Adomah said he had no plans to retire and had always intended to play at least until the age on his shirt number, which is 37.

The winger made more than 100 appearances for each of Barnet, Bristol City, Middlesbrough and Aston Villa.

His final game for the Villans was the 2018-19 Championship final victory against Derby County, which he started before being replaced in the 73rd minute.

He had spells at Forest and Cardiff before moving to London with QPR and won 19 international caps for Ghana.

Adomah's 130th and final appearance for the R's could come away to Coventry City on the final day of the Championship season on Saturday.
