Dujon Sterling signs Rangers contract extension as star vows to repay club faith after improved deal

The 24-year-old utility man was only signed by former boss Michael Beale 15 months ago and has penned a new deal

Dujon Sterling has handed Rangers a boost by signing a one year contract extension at Ibrox.

The former Chelsea man only moved to the Light Blues at the start of last season, penning a four-year deal to keep him in Glasgow until at least 2027. But the 24-year-old has proved to be a key squad asset thanks to his versatility with current boss Philippe Clement using him in a variety of positions and Sterling has now been rewarded with an improved contract at Ibrox.

The Englishman made 36 appearances in his first season and scored one goal which came in the 2-2 Europa League draw away to Benfica. He has featured 10 times this season but has had injury issues.

After signing his new contract, Sterling told the club website: "It is good to get it over the line. I am obviously proud. The club have rewarded me because they thought my performances were good last season and for me it is jut about building on that this season. It gives me extra motivation that I want to do more. I have got the reward and now I want to repay the favour."

Clement added: "We are delighted that Dujon has committed his future to the club. He has become a vital member of the squad over the part year since I came to the club, showing his potential in several positions and always being ready for the team. We are going to continue working hard together with him to get everything out of his abilities and believe he will continue to have a big impact on the squad."
