Furman leaves Rangers

Mon, 29 Jun 22:06:05 2009

South African youngster Dean Furman has left Rangers for Oldham.

The 21-year-old midfielder has signed a two-year deal with the Latics, after making just one first-team appearance as a substitute in three years at Ibrox.

Furman had been offered an extended stay with the Clydesdale Bank Premier League champions after impressing during a 33-match loan spell with Bradford last season.

He told his club's official website, www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk: "I was offered a new contract by Rangers but I didn't think I was going to get as much football as I'd have liked.

"The chance to join Oldham came up and straight away I got a good feel for the club. I had my first day training with them today (Monday) and it was great.

"I feel it's time for me to move on because I enjoyed getting first-team football at Bradford last season and I was to keep progressing.

"I am confident I will be able to do that now. I've got no guarantees I'll be playing every week and it's up to me to prove I'm good enough for this team.

"That's a challenge I'm looking forward to and hopefully over the next couple of years I can give my all and establish myself more."

  4. Disappointed by this as furman is going to be a great­ player. Was hoping he would start to make first team­ appearances this season. Have no problem with the­ player moving as he prob wouldn't get many­ opportunities. This is a real opportunity missed by­ Rangers and Murray Park was supposed to be about­ players coming through so Rangers wouldn't need to­ spend as much in transfer market. But the players­ coming through compared with the ones who have left is­ not good reading. McCormack, Steven Mclean, Burke,­ Smith, Brian Mclean, furman, the 2 young french players­ plg signed and recieving little or no money for these­ players. Hutton, possibly Adam and McGregor being the­ only one we get money for. The only way to get money­ back for players is to play them. Not good business­ sense! Time to change that as there is no point to­ Murray park otherwise. Remember Murray Park was the­ final straw that put us in debt.
