Two More Youth Team Graduates Released
Pat Kanyuka and Keiran St Aimie have joined Shabazz Baidoo in leaving QPR on free transfers today
Bith Kanyuka and St Aimie both had their contracts terminated by mutual consent this morning.
Kanyuka joined QPR after being released by Leyton Orient as a teenager in 2003. He forced his way into the first team and went on to make 15 appearances in all competitions for the R's in a career that has been sadly, riddled with injury for the big centre half. He missed the first half of the 2007/08 season with a torn thigh muscle picked up in pre-season.
One of the many stars of last years League Title winning youth team, Kieron St Aimie signed pro forms with the R's last summer, but despite a promising pre season, where he scored a superb solo goal against Celtic, he has made just one substitutes' appearance in this season's Carling Cup defeat against Leyton Orient.
Kieron was loaned out to Oxford United earlier this season, but his time spent at the Kassam Stadium was pretty much unsuccessful.
