'Unfortunately' - Glen Kamara recalls tough Leeds United moments after making EFL return with QPR Glen Kamara has recalled Leeds United experiences after joining Queens Park Rangers Glen Kamara is looking to achieve promotion to the Premier League with Queens Park Rangers - after failing to do so at Leeds United. The midfielder arrived at Elland Road from Rangers in the summer of 2023 as part of the club’s post-relegation recruitment drive. He quickly became one of Daniel Farke’s most trusted lieutenants and made 40 league appearances as the Whites reached the Champiosnhip play-off final. Kamara was part of the side beaten by Southampton at Wembley and then left for French outfit Rennes less than two months later. Glen Kamara recalls Leeds United experiences Now 30, Kamara is back in the Championship having joined QPR from Rennes on a season-long loan deal. After putting pen to paper in London, Kamara spoke of his failed promotion push with Leeds. “It's a division I've played in, a division I know,” he told the official QPR website. “Unfortunately we didn't make it to the Prem that season but hopefully I can help QPR do that, and we can push for promotion.” Kamara also recalled the last time he played at QPR’s home, the 18,439-capacity Loftus Road. Leeds visited the ground in April 2024 and were put to the sword in humiliating fashion, securing QPR’s safety from relegation and denting their automatic promotion hopes. “We lost 4-0 when I played for Leeds there,” said Kamara. “Hopefully I can have better memories for myself and the team. “I'm excited to be at QPR. When I spoke to the CEO at the club, he really sold the project to me. Obviously being from West London myself, I'm just delighted to get it done. “I haven't told everyone yet because I've got to keep it quiet but I've got one really crazy QPR fan who can't wait - he's already texted me.” ‘Nous’ in the centre of midfield QPR’s CEO Christian Nourry added: “It is great to bring about a second west London homecoming this transfer window with the arrival of Glen. “Glen has all the qualities to enhance our options in midfield as well as add some further bite and nous to the middle of the park. We thank Glen for his trust in QPR being the right option for him despite significant other Championship interest.”
