Rangers sign former Durham forward Blake | OneFootball

Rangers have completed the signing of former Durham forward Hannah Blake on a free transfer.

The Gers announced news of the deal via a post on their official club website earlier today.

The 26-year-old New Zealand international attacker moves north of the border after leaving former club Durham earlier this summer. Blake spent two years with The Wildcats after joining the club from Ninja A-League side Adelaide United. The forward made 16 appearances for Durham in last season’s Barclays WSL2 in which she scored one goal.

After sealing her move to Rangers, Blake said “It is really exciting, the first few days have been good I have settled in nicely. The girls have been really welcoming so it feels nice and it feels like home already which is good.

“Rangers is obviously a massive club and that was exciting to me. I think speaking to Leanne [Crichton] and Donald [Gillies], the club has a huge amount of ambition and they want to win and that excites me.

“It was clear that Leanne wants to play a really attacking style of football, obviously dominate and win sort of at all costs especially as an attacking player that is something that is really exciting so it was a little bit of a no brainer really.”

Blake joins a Rangers side that are looking to kick on both domestically and in European competition.
