Reigning NPFL champions, Rangers International have succeeded in beating other suitors to secure the services of former Niger Tornadoes winger, Clinton Jephter, who penned a year deal to defend the badge of the Flying Antelopes, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

Jephter, who was amongst the top performers for the Minna-based side in the concluded season put pen to paper for the coach Fidelis Ilechukwu tutored side on Monday, July 15, 2024, at the club’s corporate office in Enugu.

A highly elated Jephter said after signing the documents, “Firstly, I want to thank God for making it possible for me to be here. Secondly, I feel so happy and good to join a great side like Rangers International, the reigning league champions. 

"I feel proud to be part of this club. I know the signing is coming late but I am grateful it happened due to pressures from a couple of clubs for my services. It was a hard decision for me but I believe Rangers is the right choice for me and I feel happy and good to be here.”

The Southern Ijaw, Bayelsa state-born ball juggler makes the 10th addition to the Coal City side as it fortifies the team for a successful title defense and fruitful continental challenge which starts in the middle of August 2024 with a preliminary round fixture against Comoros Islands side, U.S. Zilimadjou.
