QPR is currently undergoing a significant transition, welcoming Marti Cifuentes as their new manager following the dismissal of Gareth Ainsworth due to a disappointing season start. The team, positioned 23rd in the table, is eager to make strides both on the field and in the transfer market to avoid relegation to League One next May. The upcoming match against Norwich City marks their return to Championship action after the international break.
Amid the restructuring, QPR is eyeing potential additions to their squad. CJ Hamilton, a winger from Blackpool, has emerged as a target for the club in the upcoming January transfer window. This interest is shared by Huddersfield Town and Derby County, as reported by Football Insider. Hamilton, 28, is approaching the final six months of his contract with Blackpool, making him a potential acquisition for interested clubs.
Despite currently playing in League One, Hamilton is viewed as a valuable addition who could enhance QPR’s attacking capabilities. Renowned for his speed, the winger has received praise from former Blackpool player Brett Ormerod, who emphasized Hamilton’s ability to trouble defenders with his pace and versatility on the wing.
| CJ Hamilton career stats | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
|---|---|---|---|
| Championship | 63 | 3 | 9 |
| League One | 40 | 6 | 9 |
| League Two | 142 | 15 | 16 |
Hamilton’s track record includes a promising start to the current season with four assists and one goal in League One. Additionally, he has previously contributed to 12 goals (three goals and nine assists) in the Championship, showcasing his competence at that level. With his age and experience in the Football League, Hamilton could prove to be a strategic and enduring signing for QPR.
