Rangers academy coach David McCallum has suggested that Nathan Young-Coombes may not be the last young player to swap an English club for Ibrox.

Young-Coombes signed for Rangers from Chelsea in January, following a successful trial spell, and soon helped the Gers’ Under-17s to ALKASS Cup success in Qatar.

Asked whether there could be more where the 16-year-old came from, McCallum replied via the official Twitter of the Rangers Youth Development Co:

In a separate reply, McCallum claimed Young-Coombes has settled in well since his move to Rangers.

He said:

Young-Coombes will one day hope to emulate Glenn Middleton at Rangers, with the winger having made a significant impression at first-team level and earned international recognition since his 2018 move from the Norwich City academy.

Rangers manager, Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), and director of football, Mark Allen (Manchester City), each spent time working within the academies of top English clubs.
