Queens Park Rangers (QPR) have welcomed former West Bromwich Albion youth player Sam Oluwatobi on trial. Oluwatobi was named as a starter for QPR’s development squad’s match against Cardiff City’s youth team.
QPR is currently in the process of searching for a new manager following the departure of Gareth Ainsworth. In the meantime, the development squad continues with its usual activities, and Oluwatobi’s inclusion as a trialist in the team suggests that QPR is exploring potential additions.
