Rabbi Matondo sends message as Rangers finalise loan-to-buy exit

Rabbi Matondo has wished Rangers teammate Johnly Yfeko well on social media after the defender joined Exeter City.

 

Yfeko posted on his personal Instagram page [24 July] expressing his delight at securing a move to Exeter on an initial loan deal, with the Grecians holding an option to buy the 23-year-old.

Having made just one Scottish Premiership appearance for the Gers, the move south represents a fresh start for Yfeko in League One – albeit for now temporarily.

 

His post was soon picked up by winger Matondo, who commented: “All the best bro. Go show dem.”

 

Rangers continue squad reshuffle

Rangers still see a future for Yfeko, having secured the defender – who has often represented their ‘B’ team – to a contract extension until 2026 prior to his move to Devon.

A season of first-team experience then allows the club to gauge his progress and decide the next steps.

 

He remains close with Welsh international Matondo, who also has a deal until 2026 although his situation is very contrasting, having played 31 times in all competitions in 2023-24.

Matondo’s injury struggles have robbed him of further game time, with Philippe Clement clearly seeing enough in the wide player to include him when fit, and Derek Ferguson [8 July] was recently among those to back the club in keeping him in Glasgow despite his fitness issues.

A significant summer rebuild continues to progress at Rangers, with the Light Blues also set to cut ties with more experienced players including Todd Cantwell and Connor Goldson.
