Austin ‘Delighted’ With Move
Speaking to the club’s official website after completing the short-term move, Austin expressed his delight, saying: “I am delighted. When I was told there was a chance of it happening I grabbed it with both hands.
“Walking into the ground today has brought a lot of the memories back. It’s special for me and special for my family.
“I’ve matured as a footballer and as a person, and now it’s time for me to help the club get out of the position they’re in, that’s why I’m here.
“The love is there. There is a special bond between my family and QPR. I know people are going to question about coming back and ruining my reputation. I don’t think I am going to do that one bit. I am here to succeed. I still have plenty of fire in my belly.”
Warburton Equally Delighted by Austin Move
QPR manager, Mark Warburton was equally delighted by Austin’s loan move, saying: “I am absolutely delighted we have been able to bring Charlie in,” Warburton said.
“There are two reasons why I’m so pleased. The first is because of his undoubted quality, experience and standing in the game.
“The second reason is because of Charlie’s hunger and desire to return to the club.
“When you have players who have been in the Premier League, earning Premier League money, one of the big questions you have is about their hunger.
“In Charlie’s case, he has it by the bucketloads.”
