Balogun confirms Rangers exit, pays special tribute

Leon Balogun has confirmed his exit from Scottish Premiership side Glasgow Rangers and wrote an “classy” farewell message to the Club.

Balogun’s three year contract – extended by a year – at Rangers ran out at the end of May and the 33 year-old was not offered a new deal that met his expectations.

In those three seasons, the CB won his first career league title, League Cup and went on to play in an European final.

He tweeted an emotional message to the Club fans, Staff and team.

Took me some time, but eventually it is time for me to say goodbye.

Thank you to every single soul at the club working their socks of, making sure me and the boys can focus on performing at our best. A lot of whom we work with on a daily basis.

kitchen staff, medical staff, sports scientists and athletic trainers, as well as our two girls Katy and Hannah. You have shown and taught me -in your very own way- the dedication that is expected and I thank your for that.

We became invincible champions, the class of 55, the magical European nights at Ibrox that led us all the way to the final. Eventually we crowned my time with the Scottish cup.Thanks for all the memories, the laughter and for sharing some of the best moments in my career with me.

Thank you to the managing staff and especially to my amazing team mates over the 2 seasons, who welcomed me from day one as a player and a friend. Who have pushed me to be better and taught me the Rangers way. A lot of highs, a few lows that made our bond even stronger.

The Free Agent will now hope to find a new club before the start of next season, but there are no indications as to his preferred destination.
