Glasgow Rangers of Scotland defender, Leon Aderemi Balogun has disclosed that he is happy with his new contract with the Scottish Premiership club and says he is happy with his stay at Ibrox Stadium, megasportsarena.com reports.
The former Türkiyemspor Berlin, Fortuna Dusseldorf, Darmstadt, Hannover, Werder Bremen and SV Mainz of Germany stopper, who has also played for Brighton and Wigan Athletic of England, added that he is happy with the opportunity to further showcase his quality with The Gers.
The new deal will keep Balogun at Ibrox until the summer of 2022, and the injury-prone versatile defender is already thinking of how to make the best of his new deal with The Light Blues, after recently playing a key role in helping Steven Gerrard’s side seal a 55th Scottish league title.
Balogun, who has played 28 games and provided three assists since joining Rangers as a free agent last summer, told the club’s official website: “Today is a very happy day and a very proud day announcing my contract has been extended for another year.
“I am proud to be a part of this amazing club and I felt that pretty early on I had fallen in love with the club and the working environment, the way the players and the management staff work and the way the club is a big family, I am happy and proud that I can call myself a Rangers player.
“I am happy to be a part of the team that won the league, but what we have been saying recently is we are just getting started and I am happy that I can be a part of this. I said a few weeks in to one of my family, I wish I had been at a club and an environment like this early-on in my career.
“I am very, very happy and proud that this can now be announced. One thing too, I was never going to leave before witnessing a full Ibrox Stadium, and if everyone was happy, I was going to stay.”
