QPR have completed the permanent signing of Christian Pullella from Perth Glory.

The defender has joined the club for an undisclosed fee and will initially link up with the Development Squad.

Pullella, who spent five years with Glory and has made four appearances for Australia U17s to date, said: “I'm feeling great.

“I'm just happy to get everything signed and be part of QPR. As soon as I heard they were interested, it was a yes from me, 100 percent.”

Fellow Aussies - and former Glory players - Daniel Bennie and Jaylan Pearman have already made the move to W12, and Pullella admits he has been in touch with the pair.

“They both messaged me prior to coming,” he said. “They’ve had nothing but positive things to say about everyone here, so it’s really exciting to be part of it.

“I think the club's putting a lot of priority into the youth, their academy and the training facilities.

“They've also announced they're applying for Category 1 status, so they obviously value their academy very highly.”

An attack-minded left-back, Pullella admitted: “My first target is getting out on the pitch, and I just can’t wait to get started.”

CEO Christian Nourry said: “Christian has performed well for the Australia youth national team over the last 18 months and brings a balanced full-back profile to the Development Squad with the athletic potential to have a successful professional football career.”

Think we signed Frey 5 years too late. Was never a great fan but wish him well did his best for us can’t ask no more.

Can we pls sign a couple of proper full backs?? They are arguably the most important players in any team. Get 2 good ones and we are a good side. A crap ones leave you fighting it out at the bottom.

Totally agree.

When you see the oppo counter with bodies and your full back doesn't track back leaving a great big hole that the rest of the defence have to stretch to cover, you just know where that ball is going to ultimately end up a few seconds later.

He’s hardly played & been mostly in the dev squad, christ give the boy a chance & let him develop & get used to the championship & that goes with a few of our players

Nashville interested in taking Adamson on loan. Not surprised as he's miles out of his depth in the Championship. Not even non league level from the little I've seen. Another bizarre signing that went to sh1ite. Giving him the no2 shirt was a joke.

Shrewd move: joining a team of grasshoppers should sort out any jumping or agility issues! Seriously though, all the best mate and thanks.

Good luck mate ….. always gave an honest 100%

Agree

Don't really know what went wrong with him , he always seemed to jump into the defender when challenging for headers ...wish him all the best with his new team

[FurtiveFox]

Also liked him, just not suited at all to our style of play this season which made his lack of pace untenable. Chuck him up front with runners around him and could still do a job. Best of luck to him.

[Abseits]

He was definitely a good guy. It does seem our suits upstairs are good at finding players of good character, we don't seem to have bought any knobheads for quite a while now. Obviously footballing ability is what matters most but it helps team bonding/spirit if you have a sensible, mentally mature and decent group of players.

[daveshads]

Liked him. The years are taking their toll but I feel that we rarely provided him with type of service that he most needed.
Beet wishes to him. We have worse players…

£500k isn’t too bad.

[Darkranger]

Yep, clearly a decent bloke on and off the pitch. Loved his fighting spirit, shame his legs have gone. He would have been a fantastic signing 10 years ago.
Wish him good luck in his new club.

[shaggy24]

Game at Luton was his best for us credit to him always tried but ultimately lacks pace ability to jump pass now

but cheers michi
