MARTIN Rowlands wants to stay at Millwall for the rest of the season.

The QPR midfielder made the switch to the Den last week - initially for a month - after being given the green light to leave Loftus Road by boss Neil Warnock.

But the 32-year-old admits it was big wrench to leave the Championship leaders.

He said: “Leaving QPR was not easy. I have been there a long time and it is a club that is very close to my heart.

“But I am really desperate to be out on a pitch playing football. I have been fit more or less all season.

“I have not been in the team and their results have been really good. So I cannot complain.

“Being here gives me the chance to play. Initially it will be for a month. And we will wait and see what happens after that.

“But I am looking to get back onto the pitch, then I would want to stay until the end of the season and push on.

“There’s a lot that can happen between now and the climax of the campaign.”
