‘ JUNIOR HOILETT WAS ON MASSIVE WAGES ‘
By Annis Abraham
New Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock today signed Junior Hoilett as he was a free agent, the highly rated Hoilett had been hoping a Premier League club would sign him,but jumped at the chance to sign for his ex manager Warnock.
In four years Junior Hoilett made an incredibly meagre 30 starts and 41 sub appearances for Queens Park Rangers, in which he pocketed close to £40,000-a-week on average – even given the checks on wages for promotion and demotion.
Hoilett has signed a contract with the Welsh club until the end of the season. He had been a free agent since deciding to leave QPR when his contract expired.
Junior Hoilett had told Rangers he did not want to stay at Loftus Road and was not interested in signing a new deal.
Manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was keen to keep him and, with Hoilett having not secured the Premier League move he expected to, Rangers still held out some hope that he would return.
Hoilett played under Warnock at QPR during the Yorkshireman’s spell as interim boss prior to Hasselbaink’s appointment last season.
Be very interesting to known what Cardiff City are paying Hoilett till June 2017,as we are supposedly reducing our wage bill rapidly?
