Defender Ugo Ukah has joined Italian side Nourese Calcio after failing to make an impact at QPR.

Nigerian-born Ukah, lured to Loftus Road last summer, has penned a three-year deal with the Serie C2 side after making just two appearances for Rangers.

Meanwhile, midfielder Lee Cook is poised to open negotiations over a two-year contract extension which would keep him contracted to Gary Waddock's side until 2009.

Rangers' preparations for the new season look set to be further boosted by news Shabazz Baidoo is on the verge of signing a new two-year deal.
