John bids Rangers farewell ahead of Rivers United move

Uche John has announced that he will leave Rangers ahead of his reported move to Rivers United.

The Coal City outfit captain confirmed his exit in a farewell message to the club.

“My four-year stay with Rangers has been very eventful up to the point of being handed the captain’s arm band,” he begins during his farewell ceremony in Enugu.

“I must say that it was a very difficult decision for me to make in exiting the club but it is a step I must take to further my career. I need to face new challenges.

“I am leaving not because I am being owed or anything of that sort but for the singular fact that I need to encounter new challenges in a new environment.

“Most of the things I have achieved as a professional footballer, I did while playing for this great club. I will always love this club but I really need to face fresh challenges.”
