Albion winger Kazenga LuaLua has joined Championship rivals QPR on loan for the rest of the season.

LuaLua, 26, has found opportunities limited ever since recovering from an early season injury due to the form of Albion's other wide players.

The wideman’s only three Championship appearances came as a substitute back in August - although he has featured in the EFL Cup and Checkatrade Trophy.

Albion boss Chris Hughton said:"There is no doubting Kazenga's ability and it has been a frustrating time for him with the injury he picked up earlier in the season.

"Kazenga is fit and wants to play, and this move gives him that chance to play regular football in the Championship. It's a move which is a good one for both clubs and the player."

LuaLua will be available to make his Rangers debut when they visit Reading on Thursday, having served a four-match suspension relating to his red card at AFC Wimbledon in December.

He will not be eligible when Albion visit Loftus Road on Saturday April 8.
