The Verdict

Austin has been a great servant to QPR during his career as he has produced memorable moments in both of his permanent spells at the club.

In the 148 games that he has played for the R's in all competitions, the 32-year-old has managed to find the back of the net on 61 occasions whilst he has also provided 13 assists for his team-mates.

With Austin set to depart, it will be interesting to see whether QPR are able to secure the services of a forward who will be able to compliment Dykes' style of play this summer.

Despite the fact that his game-time has been limited due to injury, Dykes has still provided a respectable total of 11 direct goal contributions in the Championship this season and will be determined to help his side reach new heights at this level during the 2022/23 campaign.
