Rangers midfielder Ovie Ejaria
Ejaria, who joined Steven Gerrard’s Rangers on loan from Premier League club Liverpool in the summer transfer window, spent the second half of last season on loan at Sunderland in England.
The Black Cats suffered relegation from the Championship to League One at the end of the 2017-18 campaign.
The 20-year-old midfielder made nine starts and two substitute appearances in the Championship for Sunderland last season, scoring one goal in the process, according to WhoScored.
Ejaria has commented on his loan spell at Sunderland from Liverpool during the second half of the 2017-18 campaign.
“You want to be winning games but when I look back at my Sunderland spell I think it was a good experience for me,” Ejaria told The Scottish Sun.
“The team struggling was tough and it wasn’t something I was really used to. When I played at youth level for Liverpool I was used to winning. So going into Sunderland was all new to me.
“But I see it now as a good experience. It helped me to be stronger mentally and prepared me to come a big club like this.
“It is nice to be in a different environment here at Rangers, in terms of actually winning games.”
Stats
Ejaria – who earns £104,000 per year as salary, according to Spotrac.com – is a very talented and promising young midfielder who has a bright future head of him.
