Gavin Mahon joined QPR from Watford in January 2008 Mahon is a defensive midfield player who is decent on the ball and very quick into the tackle. He began his career at Hereford where he spent two years before being spotted by Brentford in 1998. Mahon spent four years with Brentford where he played 165 times for the Bees. Mahon almost won promotion to the Championship in 2002 when they lost to Reading on the final day of the season which saw them miss out on promotion by a single point. His performances that season earned him a move to Watford where he stayed for six years. Mahon played over two hundred games for the Hornets where he was club captain in recent years. His main highlight at Watford came in 2006 when he led them to promotion to the Premiership through the playoffs and he didn't look out of place in the top division despite the club being relegated. He almost led his side out at Wembley with Watford getting to the Semi Final of the FA Cup. He was deemed surplus to requirements at Watford after a storming start to the season saw them look to the future. He was dropped from the side in November and Watford have failed to win at home since. He joined QPR on the 31st December on an emergency loan deal and made his debut a day later as a substitute against Leicester City. His first start came days later in the FA Cup against Chelsea. The initial loan deal was followed by a permanent move to Loftus Road at the end of the season. Mahon has been a regular at QPR last season playing a holding midfield role and after Martin Rowlands injury he was made team captain for the rest of the season.
