The Rangers manager, Steven Gerrard, has allowed Rossiter to follow his former teammate out of Ibrox, albeit on loan.
Jordan Rossiter has been told by one former Rangers teammate that he will be looked after linking up with another two ex-Ibrox players.
Rossiter spent the second half of last season away from Rangers at Bury, and will head back to England’s north west for season-long loan spell at Fleetwood.
Fleetwood are managed, of course, by Joey Barton and assisted by Clint Hill, who like Rossiter moved to Rangers three years ago.
And reacting to the news on Twitter earlier, another of those 2016 Ibrox recruits, Josh Windass, wrote:
Rossiter might not be the last Rangers-associated player to arrive at Highbury this summer, with Hill revealing via the Blackpool Gazette on Saturday that the ex-Ibrox goalkeeper Matt Gilks is currently on trial.
Barton famously had his Rangers contract terminated just four months into a planned two-year stay, while Hill and Gilks each left the following summer.
Windass was sold to Wigan a year ago, with several others who signed at the same time having departed either before or since then, leaving Rossiter and Joe Dodoo as the last of those still standing at Ibrox.
