Airdrieonians FC are delighted to announce the loan signing of Rangers midfielder Jordan Thompson.

​

The 19-year-old Northern Irish playmaker - who has played twice for the Gers’ top team this season - will train with his new team-mates tomorrow night (Wednesday) as he bids for a debut in Saturday’s crunch League One clash with Ayr United.

​

Jordan joins on an initial 28-day loan and his capture was welcomed by Diamonds Head Coach Eddie Wolecki Black who told airdriefc.com: “Jordan is a clever footballer and a player who will enhance us.

​

“He can both keep the ball and play penetrating passes and he will be a great addition to the squad.

​

“We have watched him four times now and we know we have a player who can affect the game in the final third of the pitch.” 

​

Jordan is highly-rated at Murray Park after featuring twice off the bench in this campaign under boss Mark Warburton.

​

And Chief Executive Iain King stressed: “We started the January window intent on trimming what was a 26-man squad.

​

“We have done that and were content with the squad we had but the chairman had always promised that if genuine quality became available there would be leeway.

​

“Jordan is a quality player with tremendous potential and we hope he starts his journey to realising that at Airdrieonians.”
