QPR Sign Tariq Lamptey on Free Transfer After Fiorentina Exit

The move gives QPR an experienced attacking full‑back with Lamptey's return to play still dependent on his ongoing ACL rehabilitation.

Overview

Queens Park Rangers have confirmed the free transfer signing of right‑back Tariq Lamptey from free‑agent status following his departure from Fiorentina.
Lamptey suffered an anterior cruciate ligament rupture 22 minutes into his first start for Fiorentina and made only a brief three‑minute Serie A appearance before the injury ended his time in Italy.
Lamptey told QPR's website that his recovery has gone well and that he is “not too far away” from returning to the pitch.
QPR have not released contract terms and the club has not confirmed whether Lamptey will be available for their pre‑season friendly with Fiorentina or the Championship opener away to Portsmouth.
A product of Chelsea’s academy who made more than 120 appearances for Brighton and has 11 Ghana caps, Lamptey brings top‑flight experience but also a history of recurring knee and hamstring injuries that will shape expectations for his contribution this season.
