Petros Skapetis joins QPR on an 18-month deal
QPR CONFIRM SKAPETIS ARRIVAL Queens Park Rangers have confirmed that promising forward Petros Skapetis has joined the club from Australian side South Melbourne. The 17-year-old striker, who can also operate on the wing, has penned an 18-month contract at Loftus Road. Considered to be one of the hottest prospects in Australian football, Skapetis will join QPR's centre of excellence as a first year scholar. The club have high hopes for him and are keen to see all of their efforts to bring him on board, which included fending off interest from a number of other sides, rewarded on the field. "We are pleased to bring Petros in," head of youth development Steve Gallen told the club's official website. "He is a good lad. He's quick, bright, lively and he wants to score goals. "He can also play on the flanks and get crosses into the box. "He is a good addition to our youth department." |
