Rangers\u00a0have signed\u00a0Bournemouth\u00a0midfielder\u00a0Joe Rothwell\u00a0for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal.<\/p>\n

Rothwell, 30, reunites with boss Russell Martin, who he played under at Southampton during a loan spell in 2023\/24.<\/p>\n

Rothwell helped Saints to promotion from the Championship to the Premier League and did the same last season with Leeds while on loan there.<\/p>\n

The Man Utd academy graduate turned down the opportunity to go to LaLiga to complete his switch to Ibrox and is the club’s third signing of the summer, after Max Aarons, who joined on loan from Bournemouth, and Lyall Cameron from Dundee.<\/a><\/p>\n

“I am delighted to have the deal done and be here,” Rothwell said. “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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Martin said: “He is a player who we thoroughly enjoyed working with during my time at Southampton.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“We are excited for Joe to join the squad, get to know his teammates, and help make the group stronger.”<\/p>\n
