Norwich City midfielder Kieran Dowell is to join Rangers as a free agent when the summer transfer window opens next month.

The 25-year-old scored five goals in 26 appearances this season but has not played since February after suffering knee ligament damage.

He made 16 Premier League starts in the previous campaign as Norwich were relegated.

Dowell has agreed a three-year deal with the Scottish Premiership side.

The Everton academy graduate moved to Carrow Road in the summer of 2020 following loan spells with Nottingham Forest, Sheffield United, Derby County and Wigan Athletic.

An Under-20 World Cup winner with England in 2017, he was capped 17 times at under-21 level.

"I know a lot of Rangers fans and Scottish lads from my previous clubs, and they just speak so highly of Rangers - the intensity of it, the pressure of it - and that is a really good pressure as you are expected to win every game," Dowell told the Rangers website, external.

"There were so many positives for me to come here."

Rangers manager Michael Beale added: "It is fantastic, as a club, to be able to complete our first signing ahead of the summer break and I am excited to see what the future holds for Kieran at Rangers."

Norwich confirmed the departure of Dowell earlier this month., external
