Rangers have completed a deal for the New York City FC defender James Sands.
Sands, 21, has joined the Scottish Premiership club on an initial 18-month loan with an option to buy — rather than an obligation to.
The agreement is subject to a work permit and international clearance.
“James is a player who I have been aware of for some time,” Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst said in a club statement.
“His versatility was a big attraction and I've been impressed with his attitude and mentality in the games that I have watched recently.
“He is a talented young player with areas of his game which we will endeavor to develop through our coaching.”
Sands added: “I feel it is time in my career to test myself in another league and face a new challenge in Europe.”
The club’s sporting director, Ross Wilson, meanwhile said: “Signing James is a really interesting opportunity for us, and one we are all excited about.
“We reached agreement a couple of weeks ago for the transfer to be structured as a loan for this season and next, whilst we have negotiated and secured an exclusive option to buy beyond the initial loan period.”
