Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers appear to have signed the teenager.

Back in February, The Scottish Sun reported that Kane Ritchie-Hosler would be signing for Rangers this summer.

The 16-year-old was supposed to be one of the gems of Manchester City’s academy, having dazzled for the club at Under-16 level.

But the teenage sensation was somewhat forgotten about as Rangers failed to make an announcement over his arrival.

But it appears as if Ritchie-Hosler has joined the Ibrox side – and it looks like he scored twice on his debut yesterday.

The Gers’ Under-18 side thumped Partick Thistle 6-1 in a friendly on Monday, with the new addition grabbing an early brace.

Here’s what he wrote on Twitter after the game:

It’s an excellent start for the youngster, who turns 17 in September, and senior manager Steven Gerrard will no doubt be aware of how the young lads fared yesterday.

Still, it’ll be a few years before Ritchie-Hosler – who officially joined the Glasgow side on July 1 according to Transfermarkt – will be in contention to play first-team football under Gerrard at Rangers, but the future seems very bright nonetheless.
