QPR have joined the chase for jailbird Marlon King.
Striker King, 30, was released from prison yesterday after being jailed for 18 months last October.
He is free after serving nine months for sexually assaulting and causing actual bodily harm to a woman in December 2008.
The forward, who had 13 previous convictions, was immediately sacked by Premier League Wigan Athletic.
But King now intends to resume his professional career after staying in shape behind bars.
Coventry boss Aidy Boothroyd, who successfully managed King at Watford, is favourite to work with the striker again.
But QPR manager Neil Warnock is also willing to take a chance on the soccer bad-boy.
