SHABAZZ BAIDOO has returned to QPR as Gillingham manager Mark Stimson looks to free up space for his January transfer targets.

Striker Baidoo had an unsuccessful stint at the Gills, as he was unable to break into Stimson’s first team and he returns to QPR, having failed to make a single appearance.

Stimson, who last month had seven loan players on his books, now has only defender Adam Bygrave on loan and is free to look for new recruits to join on a temporary basis.

Stuart Thurgood, Dennis Oli, Adam Miller and John Nutter are all now permanent Gills players, after their loans transfers turned into permanent ones at the turn of the year, in a pre-arranged agreement.
