He said: “I am very happy to be here. I am eager to play some games and to prove myself. I am hoping to show everyone what I can do and it is going to be a good challenge.
“The club has shown real interest in me from the start and I now want to come in and help the team as much as possible.
“The head coach told me how much he wanted me and how much he likes me as a goalkeeper and a person.
“I can’t speak highly enough of him and the way he wants to play football suits the way I want to play too. Hopefully we can now come together and do something special.”
I deserved more, says Ashby
Harrison Ashby says he felt he deserved more game time during his underwhelming loan stint at Swansea City.
Ashby joined during a summer of huge upheaval, arriving under former Swans boss Michael Duff, but struggled to make his mark and made just 13 appearances during a season-long loan.
Now at Queens Park Rangers, he says he's enjoying his football again, and says parent club Newcastle United are keeping a close eye on his progress.
Speaking in the matchday programme ahead of QPR's 2-1 victory over Luton Town on Monday night. Ashby said: "They [Newcastle United] are always asking me about how I've been doing and there's a good connection between the clubs, so they're asking people other than me as well. I hope good things are being said!
"Last year I was struggling with injuries and not getting the game time I personally felt I deserved, but I've got a good relationship with the gaffer here. When I came to QPR he put his trust in me, I put my trust in him and I hope that's going to carry on."

Jenkins backs Welsh League Cup move
Former Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins has backed plans to give Wales' EFL clubs the chance to compete for European qualification through the Welsh League Cup
However, the current Newport County chairman, says the Prosiect Cymru (Project Wales) proposal can only move forward if it wins support from English football's authorities.
"We can't lose sight of the fact that we are affiliated to the EFL. We have been for many, many years, like all the clubs," he told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast.
"The majority of our funding at the minute comes from the EFL, the same as Swansea, Cardiff and Wrexham.
"Obviously that has to be the number one priority, but then taking into account that for the good of Welsh football, if this could move forward in a positive way, I think everybody could be a winner out of it."
