Nile Ranger signs for new club | OneFootball

Earlier this week it was announced that Nile Ranger had parted ways with his latest club.

Kettering Town releasing an official statement (see below) revealing that they were bidding farewell to the former Newcastle United striker after 13 months at the club.

The owner of seventh tier Kettering Town with only good things to say about Nile Ranger praising the ‘commitment’ of Nile Ranger across those past 13 months at the club and wishing him every success in the future.

The Kettering statement also said that it was by ‘mutual consent’ between player and club, that the 34 year old was leaving.

On social media, Nile Ranger has appeared to contradict that version of leaving by ‘mutual consent’, but he has now found a new club regardless.

Wellingborough Town having now announced that the striker has joined them:

“Everyone at the club is excited to have Nile on-board and are looking forward to utilising his experience and pedigree. Welcome Nile!”

Nile Ranger dropping yet further down the football pyramid, leaving the seventh tier and now set to play in the eighth tier of English football.

Kettering Town FC official statement – 12 October 2025:

‘Kettering Town FC can confirm that Nile Ranger has left the Club with immediate effect by mutual consent.

Ranger made his debut against St Ives Town on 9th September 2024 and scored his first goal, a penalty, in the (FAC2Q) tie versus Cleethorpes Town in our 1-0 win.

Having made his 50th appearance on Saturday at Alvechurch, being joint top league goal scorer with 6 goals in ten games and scoring 18 goals in all competitions, Nile will forever be remembered as part of recent Poppies folklore with his unforgettable headed winning goal at Sixfields against Northampton Town in the FAC1Rd in front of the BBC camera’s.

The Club’s owner, George Akhtar, commented “I want to personally thank Nile Ranger for the memories he has left the Kettering Town faithful. His commitment to the Club, both on and off the pitch, is a testament to him. You will be missed. Big players step up in big games and that’s what epitomises Nile Ranger. Go well Nile.”
