Gladwin and Luongo swap Swindon for QPR
Mark Cooper is already counting the cost of Swindon Town’s failure to get promoted from League One, with key midfield duo Ben Gladwin and Massimo Luongo leaving the West Country for west London club QPR for undisclosed fees.

This is the start of what appears to be a squad overhaul by Hoops coach Chris Ramsey as several senior players that failed to perform were released from Loftus Road this week.

Rated 3/1 promotion chances from next season’s Championship, QPR are getting a player of real pedigree in Luongo, with the Australia international, 22, scoring for the Socceroos in their Asian Cup final win earlier this year.

While Ramsey has previously worked with Luongo in the youth team set-up at Tottenham, fellow 22-year-old Gladwin reaches second-tier level after starting his career in non-league.
