Smith’s decision comes as a boost for the Light Blues, who managed to fend off some serious competition to retain the highly-rated youngster.

Alexander Smith has made the right choice by choosing Rangers

By choosing Rangers for his first senior career step, Smith has made a smart move for his development.

Despite tempting offers from MLS and some Premier League, the 16-year-old has signed his first professional contract at Ibrox, committing to a three-year deal.

The Gers have a strong track record of nurturing young talent, making them an ideal fit for Smith who is keen to develop his skills.

His decision, therefore, shows not only ambition but is also a good strategic move as the midfielder is likely to advance under Rangers’ guidance.

And, as he begins his journey in professional football, Smith’s dedication will be very important, with opportunities sure to come if he continues progressing.

In a challenging transfer window for the club, it’s nice to see that the Light Blues are still focusing on youth alongside making changes to the senior squad.
