Ex-Rangers kid joins non-league English side after Man City & Chelsea 'interest'

Non-league English side Squires Gate FC have confirmed the signing of former Rangers youngster Thompson Ishaka.

Ishaka made the move to Ibrox in 2023, signing for Rangers from Brooke House FA south of the border.

The Blackpool-based side confirmed his signing on X yesterday, hailing it as a 'huge coup'.

They also claimed that Ishaka had interest from Premier League sides Chelsea and Manchester City earlier in his career.

It comes after Leon King also departed Rangers yesterday.

The central defender joined Scottish Championship side Queen's Park on loan until the end of the season.

He made five appearances for the Ibrox club in the opening half of the campaign and found himself way down in the pecking order.

His chances of featuring would have been even more non-existent when John Souttar and Leon Balogun returned from injury.
