Rangers Announce Signing of Tuur Rommens

The Belgian full-back, 22, becomes the second addition of the January transfer window for Danny Röhl’s side as he looks to bolster his squad in a key area ahead of the second half of the season.

Rommens made his senior debut for Genk as an 18-year-old in 2021 after progressing through the youth ranks of the Belgian outfit.

He then made the switch to Westerlo in the summer of 2023, where he spent time as a youngster prior to joining the Genk academy, and made 24 appearances in his debut campaign.

The full-back’s importance to his side continued to rise, missing just two league fixtures across the whole of the following season as Westerlo only narrowly missed out on European qualification and being an ever-present in the team through the first half of the current campaign.

At international level, Rommens has been capped at all age groups for Belgium and featured against Scotland in Under-21 European Championship qualifying in both 2023 and 2024.

Speaking after signing for the club, Rommens commented: “I’m very happy to be here. It’s a dream to play for a club like this, and I only have positive feelings.

“Everyone knows Rangers, and when a club like this is interested in you, then you want to be part of this club. The most important thing is that they believe in me, and that’s why I have come here.

“It’s a big club with a lot of fans, and they always play in Europe. It was very easy for me to make this choice.”

Head Coach, Danny Röhl, added: “I am delighted to welcome Tuur to the club.

“He is a young and hungry player who adds real quality and physicality to the group and increases competition in a key area of the pitch.

“We believe he will be a fantastic addition to the side and an important asset in the years ahead.”
