The Glasgow Rangers midfielder, 21, has left Ibrox to join League Two side Bury on loan until the end of the season.
Glasgow Rangers have confirmed that Jordan Rossiter has gone south of the border to join Bury on a loan deal until the end of the season.
The 21-year-old midfielder made five first-team appearances for Liverpool before leaving Anfield for Ibrox – then managed by Mark Warburton – in the summer of 2016.
However, Rossiter has had just 10 league outings for Rangers since then, with four of them this season, according to BBC Sport.
The then England Under-19s captain has seen his time at Gers curtailed by injury and, in total, he has made 16 appearances for the Scottish Premiership club in all competitions, according to Transfermarkt.
Rossiter now joins a side gunning for promotion from League Two and manager Ryan Lowe admits he did not think he could have signed a player of his calibre.
“He did turn down two League One clubs and two Scottish Premiership clubs,” he is quoted by the Daily Record as saying. “After watching us on Saturday against Lincoln; he said he wanted to be a part of it.
“I didn’t think I could get a Jordan Rossiter to be honest with you, so fair play to the chairman and the board for backing me on it. He’s going to be an exciting talent. He’s an exciting player that you would probably say is above our level.”
Following the announcement, some Light Blues fans took to Twitter and expressed their opinions:
Rossiter’s last Rangers appearance prior to the loan move came on Boxing Day against Hibernian, adding to four other appearances during the first half of this season, according to the official club site.
