Lowry seals Rangers deal despite links to England
ALEX LOWRY committed his future to Rangers to end speculation l i nking him with the Premier League by signing a new long-term contract at Ibrox.
The 18-year-old agreed new terms with Rangers which will keep him at the club until at least 2025.
Lowry has been a regular in the Rangers B team this season but also made his first-team debut in the Scottish Cup win over Stirling Albion as he scored the opener in January.
The creative midfielder has gone on to make three further appearances for the Ibrox top team and has been part of the matchday squad in the Europa League.
The new Ibrox deal comes as Premier League clubs were credited with serious interest in the youngster who had one year left on his contract before the extension.
Saudi-rich duo Manchester City and Newcastle United were among those linked with Lowry, but Rangers acted quickly to secure his services.
Sharing his delight at finalising his new contract, Lowry said: “I want to thank Ross Wilson, Craig Mulholland and the boss for giving me the chance and for showing faith in me.
“I can only thank them and hopefully I can repay them by kicking on now and getting more and more games and good performances under my belt for this great club.”
Meanwhile, Scott Arfield also signed a contract extension to keep him at Rangers for another year.
The midfielder’s Ibrox deal was set to expire in the summer, but he has agreed new terms to stay in Glasgow until 2023.
He said: “I am absolutely delighted to have signed this new deal.
“I’ve always looked for longevity and stability at a club, and I am so pleased to have had that and have it going i nto the future here at Rangers.”
