Rangers have completed the signing of Joe Rothwell on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee from Bournemouth.

The 30-year-old was on loan at Leeds United last season, making 36 league appearances, and helped the club win the English Championship.

Rothwell played under boss Russell Martin at Southampton where they gained promotion to the Premiership in 2024 through the championship play-offs.

The midfielder has also had a successful spell at Blackburn Rovers where he made over 150 appearances in four years.

Speaking to the official Rangers club website, the Englishman spoke of delight to have joined the Light Blues and linking up with his former Saints manager:

“I am delighted to have the deal done and be here. It is brilliant. The size of the club speaks for itself and as soon as the interest was there it was an immediate yes from me.

“With Russell coming in too it made that decision a little bit easier because working with him in the past and I know what type of guy he is and how he wants to do things. That was an even bigger pull for me, but the club speaks for itself.”

Martin told the official Rangers club website, that Rothwell’s leadership and qualities as a player were so important in his decision to bring him to the Ibrox club:

“He is a player who we thoroughly enjoyed working with during my time at Southampton.

“His leadership, professionalism and quality were a huge asset. He is joining on the back of two promotions so helps bring a real winning mentality to the group.

“We are excited for Joe to join up the squad, get to know his teammates, and help make the group stronger.”
