Leon King has put pen to paper on a new long-term deal at Rangers.
Michael Beale revealed in his pre-match press conference ahead of the Premiership return against Hibs that the news on the youngster was imminent and now the club have confirmed the highly-regarded defender has committed his future to the Ibrox side.
The news will come as a major boost to the new manager in terms of planning for the future with the 18-year-old bursting into the first-team picture this season. He's already made 19 top team appearances this campaign after being thrown into the deep end with a defensive crisis at Rangers. He's played at the very top level featuring against the likes of Liverpool and Napoli in the Champions League - experiences that will only help in the future. Speaking after signing his new contract, King told Rangers' official website: "I am just extremely happy to sign a long-term extension to my contract, it is amazing for me and my family. I have always wanted to play for this club, and I am glad that it is continuing.
