RANGERS have made former Manchester United kid Jordan Thompson the fourth signing of the Mark Warburton era.

The 18-year-old midfielder, from Northern Ireland, has impressed in a three-week trial and revealed on Twitter that he has committed his future to the Ibrox club.

He said: “Over the moon to announce my signing @RangersFC. Honestly a dream come true for me and my family.”

Rangers have yet to officially confirm the signing but it believed Thompson, who can also play left back, made a good impression on Warburton and assistant Davie Weir during the team’s closed door friendly with the Tottenham Hotspur academy team in London last week.

The teenager was originally taken on trial to train with the Ibrox academy kids but quickly impressed sufficiently to be moved to the first team squad.

Former Bradford winger Andy Halliday also played in that match and is likely to be offered a deal, while ex-Hearts midfielder Jason Holt, who is currently training at Murray Park will sign if Rangers and the Tynecastle club can agree a development fee for the out of contract midfielder.

Holt’s former captain at Hearts, Danny Wilson, was Warburton’s first signing and since then he has added centre half Rob Kiernan from Wigan and ex-Swindon goalkeeper Wes Foderingham.

Thompson has now joined them and more look certain to follow as Warburton’s first competition game, against Hibs in the Petrofac Cup, looms on July 25.
