QPR chief pens emotional response to Charlie Austin’s parting message

QPR chairman Amit Bhatia has labelled Charlie Austin “a true club legend” and thanked him for “so many incredible memories” after the striker confirmed yesterday he would be leaving the club at the end of the 2021/22 Championship season.

Austin’s contract is up in the summer and has not been offered new terms by the west London club meaning he is now set to become a free agent.

He sent a message to the fans via Twitter yesterday confirming his departure and Bhatia has been quick to heap praise on “a true club legend today and forever”.
