Queens Park Rangers boss Chris Ramsey has backed new signing James Perch to be a "real asset" for the team this season.
The 29-year-old defender joined the Championship club from Wigan Athletic on Friday for an undisclosed fee.
Ramsey believes that Perch's versatility and knowledge of the second tier will make him a valuable player for the R's this term.
"James is a proven Championship performer, with great versatility across a number of positions," he told the club's official website.
"He can cover both full-back positions, centre-half and holding midfield, so he'll be a real asset for us. He'll add experience to a relatively young squad, so we're delighted he's put pen to paper."
QPR start the new season with a trip to Charlton Athletic on August 8.
