Published 7th Jun 2017

The 23-year-old centre-back has signed from Vitoria Setubal to become the third Portuguese player to join Rangers this summer following Bruno Alves and Dalcio.

The former Portugal Under-20 and Benfica B player joined Setubal last summer and made 23 appearances.

Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha told the club's official website: "He is a player who everyone describes as having big potential to be one of the centre-halves of the future with the Portuguese national team.

"We believe in him and he can perform on the right or on the left which is good in a centre-half.

"Fabio is 23 so having an experienced player around like Bruno Alves is good, he is a player whose one main characteristic is leadership so Fabio will feel comfortable and grow and learn from him."
