Shittu: It was hard to leave Q.P.R.

"To test myself in The Premiership is something I have wanted to do for a long time," said Shittu.

"I am sorry that I have to leave QPR - but it's something that had to happen.

"It's hard leaving a club that has been like a family to me for the last four years.

"I feel I'm ready for The Premiership. I will work hard.

"I believe I can deal with whatever is thrown at me, and I hope I can make a bigger name for myself than I did at QPR."
