The 25-year-old becomes Rangers’ second summer signing, following Dundee midfielder Lyall Cameron, who moved to Ibrox after agreeing a pre-contract in February.However, Aarons’ arrival is the first sanctioned by new head coach Russell Martin and sporting director Kevin Thelwell as they look to bolster the squad ahead of next month’s Champions League second round qualifier against Panathinaikos.It is understood there is no option to buy included in the deal for the defender, who played four times for Bournemouth last season before going on loan to Valencia in January.
Aarons is a player Martin knows well, having spent time together at Norwich, and will provide competition to captain James Tavernier.Speaking after joining Rangers, Aarons said: “I am delighted to be here, as you can see it’s a huge club and you realise that when you walk through the doors, I can’t wait to get going.
“I’ve got a lot of experience now in different leagues and I have played a lot of games. I think I can bring that experience, I can bring a new energy, and I think Rangers fans can be excited – I am really looking forward to it.”
