Scottish Premiership side Rangers FC haves officially announced the contract extension of defender Leon Balogun as they prepare for the 2024/25 season.

“It fuels the fire to succeed all the time.” – Balogun

Balogun, who returned to Rangers for a second stint last summer, has cemented his role as a key player within the team.

Initially joining the club in 2020, the experienced centre-back has since become an integral part of the squad.

“I am very, very happy and privileged to be able to extend my contract at a club like Rangers. I have said in the past I wish I could’ve been here sooner in my career because it fuels the fire to succeed all the time.

“I want to win more trophies here and win more titles. As a player, you want to make sure you are part of the history of this club because there are not many places in the world where there is a greater honour or a greater privilege.

During his first tenure with the club, Balogun played a pivotal role in securing the title during the 2020/21 season, contributing to the team’s success.

He played a crucial role in lifting the Scottish Cup in the 2021/22 campaign, further solidifying his impact on the pitch.

With his contract extension, Rangers fans can expect to see Balogun continue to contribute to the team’s success and defensive stability in the upcoming season.
