Former Super Eagles defender, Leon Balogun, has bid farewell to Rangers FC as his second stint at the club comes to an end.

The defender appreciated the fans of the club, just as he expressed sadness that he was not afforded the opportunity to thank them in the manner they deserve.


Balogun shared on X, xIt's that time again.

"No caption could summarise all that is going through my mind as I'm writing these lines. It's been nothing short of an honour, a pleasure and a great, great privilege to represent this massive club - twice!

"So many memories, good ones as well as a few tough ones.

"But it's the latter especially that made my love for the club grow even stronger. The moments when we all stuck together and went again - no matter the disappointment or frustration. In these moments the club revealed what makes it most special: YOU.

"The people supporting us week in week out, near and far, demanding, expecting, pushing us to do better and go for glory. The people working for the club behind the scenes, meeting us with a smile everyday, doing their absolute best to contribute to the success of the club in their own way. You're the heartbeat of the club and it's been an honour to represent you!

"If I would have known that the last 2 games of the season were my last for the club I would have made sure to say goodbye to all of you accordingly. Unfortunately I wasn't afforded that opportunity which saddens me as I would have liked to have walked round Ibrox one last time and returned all the love and support you've given me during my 2 stints.

"I don't know when I'll be back, but I promise I won't be a stranger.

"Thank you for making me feel at home and appreciated wherever we met.

"You've become more than just my club, you've become family.

"And for that I will be forever grateful.

"All the best my people, Leon."
