Rangers sign Arfield in 1st move under Gerrard

Steven Gerrard is making his mark at Rangers.

The Scottish side announced Monday its first move under Gerrard, the signing of Canadian international Scott Arfield to a four-year deal from Premier League side Burnley.

"I am delighted to have added Scott Arfield to the squad for next season. He is a talented and competitive midfielder who has competed at a high level in the English Premiership and internationally for Canada," the Liverpool legend said in a statement. "It's pleasing also that we have been able to start our rebuilding process so quickly after the end of the season.

"There is much more to be done of course as we look to build towards our Europa League campaign which will start in early July."

Arfield, who was born in Scotland and played for the country's youth sides before choosing to represent Canada, made his Scottish Premiership debut in 2007 with Falkirk, which now plays in the second-tier Championship.

The 29-year-old midfielder played three seasons with Falkirk before moving to Huddersfield Town and, later, Burnley. He spent five seasons with the latter, helping Burnley to a Premier League promotion, as well as a spot in the second Europa League qualification round this summer.
