Hide AdColback joined Nottingham Forest on loan during the 2017-18 season, eventually bagging a permanent move to the City Ground.
The Newcastle-born player helped Forest to promotion back to the Premier League via the play-offs under Steve Cooper but failed to nail down a regular spot last campaign and left the club when his contract expired.
However, Colback has now joined Championship side QPR on a two-year deal. Speaking about the move, he said: “I’m happy and excited to get going. It will be nice to get the training kit on and get out there with the lads.
“I’m excited to be part of what the manager wants to do here. It was an easy decision.”
QPR are currently managed by former Wycombe Wanderers boss Gareth Ainsworth.
