Super Eagles defender Leon Balogun has expressed joy over his new, improved deal with Scottish-based club, Rangers, The Heritage Times reports.
In the wake of an impressive debut campaign in Scotland, Balogun will continue his adventure with the Gers next season.
Rangers confirmed the extension of Balogun’s contract which will keep him at Ibrox Stadium until the summer of 2022.
The 32-year-old joined the Gers on a free transfer from Wigan Athletic last July and has remained a crucial cog in Steven Gerrard’s defensive set-up.
Balogun has played a crucial role in Rangers’ defence; leading to a first title triumph in his professional career.
“Today is a very happy day and a very proud day announcing my contract has been extended for another year,” Balogun told the club website.
“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.”
