QPR starlet offered pro contract

QPR have handed a professional contract to rookie striker Mo Sharif.

The 17-year-old only arrived at Rangers on a trial basis in the summer but has already done enough to earn himself a deal.

"He's been fantastic. The contract is well deserved," said youth boss Steve Gallen.

"He can play up front, in midfield or out wide. Importantly, he's got a real knack of putting the ball in the net."
