QPR have announced their shirt sponsor for 2016-17.

The club will enter into partnership with betting exchange Smarkets for the next year, with the home, away and third kits brandishing the company's name.

Hoops become one of many English clubs sponsored or associated with bookmakers or a version of the same.

In fact last season, most of the Premier League joined forces with the likes of Betfair, Paddy Power, Marathonbet and Coral - see the full list below.

Smarkets recently sponsored a competition that saw a lucky pair of winners play a game on the hallowed Loftus Road turf.

The new QPR shirts will be revealed at the end of the month, with further details to follow.
