“The stadium, the supporters, and the club’s rich history are all enormous, but I also consider the present situation here. I am glad to be here because I had a great conversation with Michael Beale about his goals and intentions both on and off the field. I felt that we might be a great fit for each other and the squad.

Michael Beale, the manager, said: “We are thrilled that Cyriel has joined our team. His participation in European games and his playing in Holland, Belgium, and Italy have given him a wealth of experience.

“We have a very specific profile in mind, and we think Cyriel will provide us with a range of attributes both in and out of possession. We had a lengthy conversation regarding his compatibility with our playing style and the other forwards on our team when we first met.

“At 28, he is in a wonderful age and will infuse our squad with his charisma and leadership. Cyriel expressed a strong desire to move here and worked very hard to make this transfer a reality.

“We are thrilled that he and his family will be spending time with us at Rangers. He is a great addition to our team, and I am forward to collaborate closely with him in the next campaigns.
