Scottish giants Rangers have announced the signing of Nigeria international defender Leon Balogun on a free transfer on a one year deal , the club has announced.
35 year old Balogun returns to the club he left last summer following the expiration of his deal. He spent the majority of last season at English Championship side QPR.
At Rangers he will be reunited with his coach Michael Beale, who said during the course of the week that he was looking forward to adding more experience to his squad, ahead of their campaign next season.
He becomes the seventh signing of the summer for Beale and he has already joined the team at their training base in Germany, where he spoke about his excitement of returning back to where he now calls home.
“I am just excited to be honest, it is still a bit unreal but it is very real, so I am just really really happy to be back at Rangers – it feels like coming home.”
“Since I have left, I have always felt a lot of appreciation and love from friends I have made in Glasgow and around the club and now that I am back it is nice to say the least.
“I know second is no option, I know what people are going to say very quickly if we are not performing so it is time to get to work, put our best foot forward and make sure we get the results that we need.”
