Ravel Morrison had a loan spell at Queens Park Rangers when he was at West Ham United.

Ravel Morrison has told The Times that it was not normal that he was sent on loan to Queens Park Rangers when he was playing well for West Ham United.

Morrison joined West Ham from Manchester United in January 2012 for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £650,000.

The 26-year-old midfielder parted company with West Ham in February 2015 when his contract was terminated.

The former England Under-21 international had a loan spell at QPR during the second half of the 2013-14 season and helped the London club win promotion from the Championship to the Premier League.

Morrison has given his take on West Ham’s decision to send him out on loan to QPR.

The midfielder told The Times: “I enjoyed my time. The fans were great, the owners were good, the coaches were good, even Sam was good until we fell out.

“Fair enough you can be taken out of the team and put on the bench, but taken out of the team when you’ve been playing well and sent on loan to a club in the Championship? That’s not normal.

“They offered me a contract — I didn’t ask for it — and then a week later they offered me a different contract, which was less, and I turned it down.

“It wasn’t about the money. It was about the principle. I loved my time at West Ham, but one person’s voice can go a long way.”

Moving to Sweden

Following his departure from West Ham, Morrison moved to Lazio, but the English midfielder did not have a good time at the Serie A club either.

The 26-year-old had a loan spell at QPR and Atlas during his time at Lazio, and the former Manchester United prospect has now made the move to Sweden to play for Ostersund.
