Extended Ibrox deal for scholar Wilson

-

Aidan Wilson believes he can become a better player training with the likes of Bruno Alves after signing another extension to his Rangers contract.

Wilson only signed a deal in May but he has now extended his stay until summer 2020.

The 18-year-old made two first-team appearance­s towards the end of last season and is happy with his progress.

“I think I have improved a lot just in the short period of time since my last extension,” he told the club’s official website. “A lot of the parts of my game I wanted to work on, I have improved on.

“I have learnt from training with the experience of being with the first team and all I can do is keep going round to train with them, working hard, learning things from the players and then hopefully my chance will come.

“I feel that the more I am round with the first team the more I am learning and becoming a better player.

“I try and do my best away from the club – eat well, sleep well and stretch.”

Wilson, who has been on the bench this season but not featured, added: “Bruno is very profession­al, you learn a lot from his demeanour as well, how he conducts himself and how he is around the place.

“I have had a couple of chats with him and he has helped me on a few occasions, positional work and just making sure I am in the right place.”
