Jermaine Jenas, Andros Townsend join Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers have secured the services of Jermaine Jenas and Andros Townsend from Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

England midfielder Jenas has joined the R's on a permanent deal, which will expire in the summer of 2014.

"The fact that Harry Redknapp was here was a big factor. There's a big challenge ahead of us in staying in league and I want to be part of it," the 29-year-old told Sky Sports News.

"There's no time to waste in this situation, so we need to hit the ground running, starting on Saturday with a win."

Meanwhile, Townsend has signed on a loan basis until the end of the current campaign.
