QPR midfielder Lucas Andersen will leave the Championship club when his contract expires at the end of the month.

The 30-year-old joined the Rs in February 2024 from Aalborg and made 51 appearances, scoring three goals.

"QPR has been one of the best places I've been as a whole - my team-mates, fans, stadiums and the football heritage is unmatched," the Dane told the club's website, external.

"It's always been my goal to not only be remembered as the footballer but also a good human being.

"My family have loved every second of living in London. And we are definitely coming back."

Andersen came off the bench to set up Michael Frey's equaliser on his debut in a 2-2 draw with Norwich City in February 2024.

He went on to make 16 appearances for the Hoops as they steered clear of relegation last season, scoring in their 4-0 victory over Leeds United at Loftus Road.

QPR opened this season with defeat to West Bromwich Albion, with Andersen scoring their only goal in a 3-1 loss.

He came off the bench in his side's final-day victory at Sunderland in what would prove to be his last appearance for the club.
