Max Aarons to Rangers deal complete as he becomes Russell Martin's first signing

Rangers have completed the loan signing of Max Aarons.

The right-back has joined the Ibrox club on loan from Bournemouth for the 2025/26 season.

The 25-year-old becomes the first signing of Russell Martin's Rangers tenure.

He spent time in La Liga with Valencia last season. 

Now, he has moved to Glasgow, as Martin reunites with his former Norwich City teammate.

Aarons said: I am delighted to be here, as you can see it’s a huge club and you realise that when you walk through the doors, I can’t wait to get going.

“I’ve got a lot of experience now in different leagues and I have played a lot of games. I think I can bring that experience, I can bring a new energy, and I think Rangers fans can be excited - I am really looking forward to it.”

“Max is a player who I have always kept a keen eye on since he was emerging through the youth ranks while I was coming to the end of my time at Norwich as a player," Martin commented. "He is a wonderfully talented player who is hungry to develop, improve and help deliver success for his side.

“We are pleased to bring him on board for this season, and I believe he will be a fantastic addition to the squad.”

Sporting Director, Kevin Thelwell, added: “We are delighted to bring Max to Rangers on a season-long loan. He is a player who has been on the radar of many clubs in recent years and, at only 25, he has experienced a lot in the game while also having plenty of room for development.

“We are excited for Max to join up with the squad for pre-season and believe he will be an important asset for the team in this upcoming campaign.”
