RANGERS midfielder Jamie Barjonas has committed his future to the club until the summer of 2020.
The 18-year-old broke into the Light Blues side last season and has made substitute appearances against Kilmarnock and Hearts this term.
Defender Aidan Wilson put pen-to-paper on a new deal last week and Barjonas is pleased to be able to follow in his footsteps.

He told RangersTV: “I’m delighted. I’ve been at the club for such a long time and from such a young age, so to be able to sign a new, two-year deal is a great feeling.
“I’m finally glad to put pen to paper. Training with the first team every day has been a step-up as the standards are higher and the demands are higher, but it is a lot better for my development.
“I can feel myself improving every day and I am delighted to be training with them every day. To get into squads and then to get onto the pitch is an add-on, and it’s great.
