Rangers have completed the signing of attacking midfielder Todd Cantwell from Norwich City.

The 24-year-old had entered the final six months of his contract at Carrow Road.

Cantwell has played 18 times for the Canaries in the Championship so far this campaign, although many appearances have been from the bench.

The former England Under-21 international came through the Norwich academy and broke into the first team in 2018.

He made 129 appearances for the club, scoring 14 times, and spent two seasons in the Premier League.

Cantwell becomes Michael Beale's first signing at the club.

Speaking to RangersTV on his arrival, he said: "I am delighted and I feel very proud. This is obviously a massive football club and I am delighted to get going and to get started.

"This is a massive club and there is a massive responsibility when you sign for Rangers to be the player that the fans want to see.

"They want to see a player that works hard and a player that can win them games which is very important and that is something I am hoping I can bring."

Beale has previously claimed he was looking to bring in "two or three" players this transfer window, with a focus on midfielders.

Standard Liege's Nicolas Raskin and Swansea forward Morgan Whittaker are also targets for the Ibrox side.

Rangers sit nine points behind league leaders Celtic in the Premiership and the new recruit could make his debut in Saturday's home match against St Johnstone.
