"It was probably the hardest decision I've ever had to make.
I wasn't going to get guaranteed football at Newcastle which was tough to take but in the same breath I understand that.
[Kevin Keegan] never took the offer of a contract off the table, he said until I sign somewhere else the offer was there.
If worst came to worst, I always had Newcastle to fall back on, which I really appreciate.
It was a bit emotional on Sunday, leaving and saying goodbye to everyone
I can't thank him enough, he is a legend up in these parts and all I've ever wanted to do was to play for Kevin Keegan when I was growing up.
It was a bit emotional on Sunday, leaving and saying goodbye to everyone.
The decision to move down there was a difficult one because all I've ever known is the streets of Tyneside.
It's a big old world down there but it's something I'm looking forward to.
It's a fresh start, a fresh environment and hopefully I can settle down quite quickly."
The former toon player who made his final appearance for Newcastle against Everton in the last game of the season has agreed a 3 year deal with QPR after being released from the club.
