Glasgow Rangers released Jak Alnwick at the end of the 2019-20 season, and the 27-year-old has found a new club after leaving Ibrox.

Alnwick joined Rangers in January 2017, penning a three-and-a-half-year deal after signing for a reported £250,000 (Daily Record).

However, the 6ft 2in Brit made just 11 appearances for Rangers, and while on the books at Ibrox, had two loan spells, at English sides Scunthorpe United and Blackpool.

Alnwick was subsequently released at the end of his contract, and has been snapped up by fellow Scottish Premiership side St Mirren.

The Buddies were looking for a new goalkeeper after Vaclav Hladky left at the end of his contract, and Alnwick has become his replacement, penning a two-year deal.

Alnwick was reportedly also a target for Blackpool (Stoke Sentinel) having spent this past season on loan with the English League One club.

However, the Englishman has opted to remain in Scotland and plenty of St Mirren fans welcomed his arrival at the Paisley outfit.
