Confirmed : Queens Park Rangers Trigger One-Year Option On Nigeria-Born Winger's Contract

Championship outfit Queens Park Rangers have triggered an extension clause in Bright Osayi-Samuel's contract.

The Nigerian-born winger now has a contract with the London club until the end of the 2020-2021 season.

Osayi-Samuel has appeared in 80 official matches for QPR, scoring 10 goals and has produced six assists.

Explaining why Osayi-Samuel and Ryan Manning's contracts were extended, QPR's Director of Football Les Ferdinand said to the club's official website : "Exercising the option to extend the deals of Ryan and Bright is recognition of how well they have done for us over the past three years.

"They have both worked incredibly hard to become important members of Mark Warburton’s squad, and as such they are valuable assets to QPR.

"When you are signing young players the contracts need to be long enough to protect the club while not too long that they can potentially take away their incentive to progress.

"The extra one-year option which we have triggered gives us that ability to do both.

"We will be continuing discussions with Ryan and Bright as we look to extend their deals further."

The 22-year-old Osayi-Samuel joined Queens Park Rangers in August 2017 from Blackpool.
