Assistant manager Kevin Bond will leave QPR when his contract expires at the end of this month.

The Championship club on Wednesday announced the imminent departure of former Saints player and coach Bond, who joined Rangers as part of former manager Harry Redknapp's coaching staff in November 2012.

Chris Ramsey succeeded Redknapp in February and was appointed on a permanent basis despite QPR's relegation from the Premier League.

''Kevin Bond will leave QPR when his contract expires at the end of this month,'' QPR said on their website.

''The 58 year-old, who joined Rangers as part of former manager Harry Redknapp's backroom team in November 2012, will depart when his current deal concludes on June 30.

''The club would like to place on the record its thanks to Kevin for his services to QPR and wish him well for the future.

''A further announcement regarding Chris Ramsey's backroom team will be made in due course.''
