### The latest: Campbell reacts to Arfield contract news

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/JordanC1107/status/1522989700180549637), The Athletic’s Rangers correspondent said that the club were seeking ‘continuity’ with the new contract for Arfield.

He outlined: “Rangers announce that Scott Arfield has signed a new one-year deal. He was one of the players there was a decision to be made on but the 33yo’s personality and experience is valuable, and he’s shown he still has a big performance in him. Continuity important in places.”

This comes after talented youngster Alex Lowry also agreed to [a new contract](https://www.rangers.co.uk/article/alex-lowry-signs-new-contract/1vspELyfQvlRrIHVDCLpLa), ignoring [reported](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-man-city-in-talks-over-signing-rangers-star-alex-lowry/) interest from Manchester City and Newcastle United in the process.

### The verdict: Important move

Tying down important players is crucial as Giovanni van Bronckhorst looks to build a team fit to challenge for the Premiership title once more next season, and Arfield – who was commended by ex-Ibrox manager Steven Gerrard for his [‘brave’](https://www.newschainonline.com/sport/mens-sport/football/rangers-boss-steven-gerrard-worried-as-brave-kid-scott-arfield-suffers-injury-58600) characteristics – certainly fits into that category.

So far this season, the [19-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scott-arfield/nationalmannschaft/spieler/55291/verein_id/3510) Canada international has scored [six times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scott-arfield/leistungsdaten/spieler/55291) in 46 appearances across all competitions, [31](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scott-arfield/leistungsdatentrainer/spieler/55291) of which have come under the Dutchman following the departure of Gerrard, underlining the 33-year-old’s continued role as a Light Blues regular.
