The former Swansea City right-back is due to spend at least the next five months at Queens Park Rangers.

Having given more than a decade of service to Swansea City, Angel Rangel has signed for the Welsh side’s Championship rivals Queens Park Rangers.

QPR have picked up the 35-year-old for free on a five-month contract, after an injury to their regular right-back, Darnell Furlong.

Rangel remains a popular figure at the Liberty Stadium, where he won two promotions and was a regular for much of Swansea’s seven seasons in the Premier League.

And even though the Spaniard’s impact waned in recent campaigns, the prospect of seeing him in QPR colours is one that does not sit well with some Swansea supporters.

This is what they’re saying on Twitter…

Rangel’s new side are due back in Swansea at the end of September in the league, and the former Girona player will almost certainly be greeted warmly by the South Wales natives.

Will the former Swansea City defender prove a good addition for Queens Park Rangers?
