Rangers midfielder Josh Windass has penned a new deal earlier this week which will keep him at the club till 2021.

The Englishman has been rewarded with a one-year extension to his contract for his excellent form this season.

Windass had two years left on his present deal but the Gers still decided to tie him up with a new contract.

The 24-year-old has set himself a target of netting 20 goals this season. And he is not far away from achieving it having scored 12 goals already this season.

It will be a fantastic achievement for the player should he manage to do it, and the player is hopeful he can hit the target before the end of the season.

Windass has particularly looked a player reborn since Graeme Murty took charge of the club for a second time in October.

The exciting attacking midfielder says that he is excited by the vision of the club going forward, and believes that signings like Jamie Murphy are statements of the club’s intent.

“I feel like I’ve been in a position I like to play in but I’ve obviously improved in goals and assists and stuff like that,” said Windass, as quoted by the Daily Record.

“I wanted to get 20 so hopefully I can get that before the end of the season. It’ll be a big ask but hopefully I can do it.

“I’ve always felt I’ve been able to play well under any circumstances but since Graeme has come in and shown a lot of belief in me and I appreciate that.

“Getting players in like Jamie Murphy from Premier League level, that’s the level you all want to reach in your career and getting players like that in, of that calibre, can only help you improve.”

Rangers are third in the Scottish Premiership table, and the Ibrox club will be aiming to finish the season on a high note.
