Balanta signs new R's deal QPR striker Angelo Balanta has signed a new two-year contract at Loftus Road, and is looking to fight for his place in Mark Hughes' side. Last Updated: 31/05/12 at 00:43 . The 21-year-old, born in Colombia, is a product of the youth set-up at Loftus Road but has found first-team opportunities limited. Balanta has had three loan spells away from QPR firstly with Wycombe before back-to-back seasons with the MK Dons but he is now gunning for the R's first-team. "I've grown up at the club and come through the youth system, so I'm really pleased to have been given a new contract," Balanta told the club's official website. "I've got another two years and I'm looking to push on now. I'm going to come into pre-season, work my socks off and see where that will take me. "I've been out on loan a number of times but I'm looking to establish myself here now."
