Ben Gladwin has made just 11 appearances for Queens Park Rangers to date.

Queens Park Rangers boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has admitted to the Kilburn Times that he has been playing Ben Gladwin out of position.

Gladwin has generally started on the right-hand side of midfield, when he has been given an opportunity at QPR.

However, Hasselbaink admits that the former Swindon Town midfielder would rather operate on the opposite side.

“Left midfield is his best position where he can come in, but at times I need to play him on the right. He’s a good person to have in the squad,” Hasselbaink said.

Gladwin has played just four times for QPR so far this season, and his future at Loftus Road is in some doubt.

Gladwin has made just 11 appearances in total, since signing for QPR back in the summer of 2015.

The 24-year-old is yet to open his goalscoring account for the R’s, and his impact has been limited.

Gladwin’s latest appearance for QPR came in their match against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough, which they lost 1-0.

QPR’s next fixture comes against Brentford tomorrow evening, in what looks set to be a fierce London derby.
