The 25-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at La Liga outfit Valencia. 

After Rangers confirmed Aarons' arrival, Martin spoke: "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," he told the club's official website.

"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 Thelwell said: "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."

Aarons will be looking to make his competitive Rangers debut when they take on Panathinaikos in the second round of Champions League qualifying next month.
