Rangers defender Jack Simpson has penned a two-year deal with Cardiff City as he leaves Ibrox for an undisclosed fee. The centre-back signed for Gers from Bournemouth in January last year but struggled to make his mark and only made one appearance under Gio van Bronckhorst from the bench in a Scottish Cup tie against Annan.
And with John Souttar and Ben Davies arriving to boost their defensive options, the door was opened to the 25-year-old to leave. English Championship side Cardiff have now confirmed his signing, and a Rangers statement reads: "Rangers can today confirm the departure of Jack Simpson to English Championship side Cardiff City on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee. Simpson leaves Rangers with the best wishes of everyone at the club."
Simpson told the Cardiff website: "I'm very excited to join the club. I spoke to the manager about what he's trying to do here. I'm a ball playing centre half, and hopefully that'll suit the way the team are playing now. I'm excited to be here. I want to help the team and play in as many games as possible."
