Josh McPake signs new Rangers deal and heads on loan to Morecambe
The winger will head out to the English League One side after putting pen to paper on a new deal
Rangers youngster Josh McPake has signed a contract extension with the club.
The 19-year old has committed his future to the Ibrox side until the summer of 2024.
The winger made 21 appearances on loan in English League Two with Harrogate Town last season.
McPake has also spent time on loan in the Scottish Championship with Greenock Morton and Dundee.
He will now test himself in English League One after sealing a loan move to Morecambe who are managed by former Motherwell boss Stephen Robinson.
Speaking to RangersTV, McPake said: “I am very pleased, I have worked really hard for it and I am delighted to extend my contract here.
“I loved my loan time at Harrogate last season, moving away from home was difficult under the circumstances but I think I have really matured and really found myself.”
Head of Academy Craig Mulholland told RangersTV: “We are delighted that Josh has extended his contract and now moves up a league in England from EFL 2 to EFL 1.
“He has matured massively in the last 12 months as a person and as a player and this is reflected in significant improvements to his physical conditioning and his performance levels in competitive first-team football, albeit we still think there is lots to come.
“There were a number of options available to Josh, however we believe moving to League One and playing against some big clubs provides the correct challenge which he needs to meet head on in order to contribute to success at his loan club and impress the manager here at Rangers.
“Everyone at the club wishes him well on this next important step in his journey.”
