# Rangers: Fans gush over Leon King contract news

**Loads of Glasgow Rangers fans have been left gushing over some news that has emerged on Leon King.**

As per the official [website](https://www.rangers.co.uk/Article/leon-king-signs-new-rangers-contract/61x8l6r15jXye1NvVNPIH5) of the Ibrox faithful, the Academy graduate has now signed a deal at the club until the summer of 2024.

It is a big contract to tie down, given that there was strong interest from some clubs in the Premier League for his signature, including the newly-rich [Newcastle United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-transfer-rumours/leon-king-rangers-man-utd-premier-league/) and also Steven Gerrard’s [Aston Villa](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/aston-villa-transfer-rumours/avfc-preece-update-leon-king-transfer-latest/).

King is still just 17 years of age, and so to have teams from the top flight interested in him is testament to just how much of a prospect he is.

The central defender has already played [twice](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leon-king/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/633650/plus/0?saison=&verein=124&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) for the senior side, and has represented Scotland a total of [nine](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leon-king/nationalmannschaft/spieler/633650) times at youth level, showing different manager’s faiths in him. Nonetheless, getting King tied down was important for the future of the club.
