Rangers Sign Nigerian-Born Defender Emmanuel Fernandez on Four-Year Deal

Scottish giants Rangers FC have completed the signing of Emmanuel Fernandez, a 23-year-old Nigerian-born centre-back, from Peterborough United, TalkTalk Nigeria reports.

Fernandez, who made an impressive 42 appearances for the League One side last season, has now penned a four-year contract with the Light Blues — marking a major step up in his career as he prepares to feature in top-flight football for the first time.

He becomes the latest addition to Russell Martin’s squad rebuild, with Rangers aiming to strengthen their backline ahead of a competitive domestic and European campaign.

The towering defender will wear jersey number 37 at the iconic Ibrox Stadium.

🇳🇬 From Lower Leagues to the Big Stage

Born in Nigeria and raised in the UK, Fernandez has spent the bulk of his early career in the lower divisions of English football, including stints at Brentford B and Gillingham before making his mark at Peterborough.

This move to Rangers presents a defining moment — not only is he joining one of Britain’s most decorated clubs, but he’s also stepping into a passionate football culture where expectations are sky-high.

💬 Opinion: A Smart Investment for Rangers — and a Huge Inspiration for Young Nigerians

Fernandez’s signing isn’t just about adding depth to the Rangers’ squad — it’s about raw potential meeting the right opportunity. At 23, he’s entering a crucial stage in his development, and playing under the lights at Ibrox could elevate his game and confidence.

For Nigerian fans, this move is another reminder that homegrown talent continues to shine internationally. From Osimhen to Boniface and now Fernandez, the diaspora continues to produce players ready for the world’s biggest stages.
