Rangers Announce Signing Of Max Aarons

RANGERS Football Club are today delighted to announce the signing of Max Aarons from AFC Bournemouth on a season-long loan deal, subject to international clearance.

The full-back, 25, joins Russell Martin’s squad as preparations for the new campaign continue. Aarons made his breakthrough at Norwich City after joining the Canaries from Luton Town’s academy in 2016.

The London-born defender made his debut for the side in 2018 and played a significant role in two separate English Championship winning campaigns for Norwich City.

He made over 200 appearances in a five-year spell with the Norfolk outfit, earning international recognition at youth level with England as the young Lions lifted the UEFA European Under-21 Championship in 2023.

That summer, Aarons joined AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League, slotting straight into Andoni Iraola’s side and helping the Cherries achieve a new points record in the division.

The 25-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Valencia in La Liga.

Speaking after joining the Gers on a season-long loan, Aarons said: “I am delighted to be here, as you can see it’s a huge club and you realise that when you walk through the doors, I can’t wait to get going.

“I’ve got a lot of experience now in different leagues and I have played a lot of games. I think I can bring that experience, I can bring a new energy, and I think Rangers fans can be excited - I am really looking forward to it.”

Head Coach, Russell Martin, commented: “Max is a player who I have always kept a keen eye on since he was emerging through the youth ranks while I was coming to the end of my time at Norwich as a player. He is a wonderfully talented player who is hungry to develop, improve and help deliver success for his side.

“We are pleased to bring him on board for this season, and I believe he will be a fantastic addition to the squad.”

Sporting Director, Kevin Thelwell, added: “We are delighted to bring Max to Rangers on a season-long loan. He is a player who has been on the radar of many clubs in recent years and, at only 25, he has experienced a lot in the game while also having plenty of room for development.

“We are excited for Max to join up with the squad for pre-season and believe he will be an important asset for the team in this upcoming campaign.”
