RANGERS Football Club are today delighted to announce Óscar Cortés has signed a one-year loan deal from French side RC Lens with an obligation to buy in the summer of 2025.
The 20-year-old winger will then put pen to paper on a four-year contract at Ibrox through to 2029.
The Colombian international joined up with the Gers in January and immediately impressed boss Philippe Clement and the supporters.
Cortes made seven appearances, scoring once in the 5-0 defeat of Hearts in February, before suffering an injury in the 2-1 win at Kilmarnock on February 28.
He has continued to carry out his rehab in Glasgow and has now committed to remaining at the club for next season and beyond.
Speaking upon agreeing his new deal, Cortes commented: “I am delighted to be able to stay at Rangers.
“It was an honour and privilege for me to join the club in January and I was enjoying my football under the manager and playing alongside my team-mates.
“Sadly, the injury ended my season early, but I have been working hard and I am excited to help the team and play in front of the wonderful fans again soon.”
Manager, Philippe Clement, continued: “I am really pleased to have Oscar coming back.
“He was a big asset to the squad when he came to the club and he showed the qualities that attracted him to us.
“Oscar suffered a setback, but he has worked tirelessly during his recovery and I am sure all of the fans are looking forward to seeing him again next season.”
Director of Recruitment, Nils Koppen said: “Oscar’s Rangers career started brightly and he showed the technical ability, pace and goal threat he carries.
“He was unfortunate to miss the final few months of the campaign, but we believe he can be an important player for the team going forward.
“He has really loved being at the club and we feel he will get even better when he is fully fit again working under the manager and his coaching staff.”
