RANGERS have signed up highly-rated Inverness star Kieron Willox.

The Championship club confirmed the move this afternoon.

The 16-year-old moves on from Caley Thistle after six seasons in the Highlands.

While Inverness were disappointed to lose one of their top talents, the club revealed Rangers' interest was too strong for the teenager to turn down.

A club statement reads: "We can confirm that our outstanding ICTFC Academy player Kieron Willox has joined Rangers Football Club.

"We did our best to try and keep Kieron at the club and a number of Scottish Premiership clubs have been showing serious interest in the 16 year old winger who has been with us for six seasons, but ultimately the lure of the Europa League Finalists was too strong and we wish Kieron and his family nothing but success with Rangers. 

"Our Academy continues to thrive across all age groups and the fact that one of the biggest clubs in Europe is looking to sign a young man who has not even come close to playing for the first team is a credit to everyone involved in the academy, coaches, players and parents."
