Rangers sign Northern Irish midfielder
Recently-released Old Trafford
starlet Jordan Thompson has this afternoon confirmed he has joined Rangers and
becomes manager Mark Warburton’s latest recruit.
The ex-Man Utd youngster, who
plies his trade in midfield, tweeted to announce his arrival at Ibrox on a
permanent basis, and will give Warburton badly-needed depth in the middle of
the park.
He said:
“Over the moon to announce my signing at
Rangers. Honestly a dream come true for me and my family.”
The Northern Irish player, 18, is
most likely to be an academy recruit for Auchenhowie, like his now-colleague and
fellow midfielder Tom Lang, but nevertheless if he is good enough, like his
peer, and like many other Murray
Park graduates, could
well be deployed in the senior team if he impresses.
He joins Lang, Gibson,
Foderingham, Wilson and Kiernan as the new manager’s transfer window work so
far, with surely more to come in the following weeks.
