A Nigerian national team player Calvin Bassey has said his farewell message to Rangers fans following his 5-year transfer contract to Eredivisie champions, Ajax Amsterdam.

Bassey has linked up with Ajax on Wednesday after he sealed the deal.

The 22-year-old ended his two-year association with the Gers following his arrival from Leicester City in 2020.

Bassey took to the social media to pay tribute to his former teammates and the fans.

Firstly, I just want to thank God for giving me this opportunity to play for a club that is as historic and amazing as Rangers,”the versatile defender wrote on his Twitter handle.

“I want to thank the manager and the coaching staff.

“For the trust they put in me and for helping me to develop both as a person and a player.

“I want to thank my teammates for all their help. I came here to play football but I’m leaving with brothers for life.

“I want to thank all the fans. You were truly incredible. I’ve never experienced anything like Ibrox.

“You will always have a place in my heart – once a Ger, always a Ger.

“Finally, I wish the team all the best and plenty of success for the future.”

Bassey is a product of Leicester City’s youth system but didn’t make a senior appearance for the club before joining Rangers on a free transfer in July 2020.
