Queens Park Rangers' Tom Hitchcock joins Rotherham United on loan

Queens Park Rangers striker Tom Hitchcock has agreed a deal to join League One side Rotherham United on loan for a month.

The player will go straight into the squad for the side in sixth place against Crewe Alexandra, the club at which he spent the first half of the season on loan.

"Tom is a young man we first came across when he was very young at Blackburn Rovers," Sky Sports News quotes Rotherham manager Steve Evans as saying. "We've always liked him and watched him playing in games, both behind closed doors and reserve games for QPR.

"I spoke to Harry Redknapp about him a while ago and although things didn't work out at that time, we tracked him when he went to Crewe.

"He's done well there, got a goal every two games in this division and was unlucky not to get more actually."

Hitchcock scored once in his only appearance for QPR.
