Rangers have signed Tuur Rommens on a three-and-a-half-year deal after completing his medical at the weekend. 

The left-back joins the Ibrox club from Westerlo for a reported fee of £3.5 million and becomes Danny Rohl’s second signing of the January transfer window.

The 22-year-old started his career at Genk and played in the Belgian Pro League nearly 80 times.

At international level, he is currently the captain of the Belgium Under-21s and has made nine appearances for them.

Rommens is fit and ready for selection and could feature against Annan Athletic in the Scottish Cup this Friday, but his minutes will be managed as he has just recovered from a knock.

Speaking to the Rangers club website, Rommens was over the moon to have signed for the Gers and can’t wait to get started:

“I’m very happy to be here. It’s a dream to play for a club like this, and I only have positive feelings.

“Everyone knows Rangers, and when a club like this is interested in you, then you want to be part of this club. The most important thing is that they believe in me, and that’s why I have come here.

“It’s a big club with a lot of fans, and they always play in Europe. It was very easy for me to make this choice.”

Rohl believes Rommens will be an important asset for the Light Blues for the future, he told the club website:

“I am delighted to welcome Tuur to the club.

“He is a young and hungry player who adds real quality and physicality to the group and increases competition in a key area of the pitch.

“We believe he will be a fantastic addition to the side and an important asset in the years ahead.”
