We’re delighted to announce that Kevin Ciubotaru has signed a 2 year pro contract with Glasgow Rangers and becomes our 54th signing to a professional club that has been on our academy programme. We’re proud that we could play a part in supporting his development and journey.
Kevin Ciubotaru: “Delighted to sign my first professional contract with Rangers FC. A big thank you to Kinetic for giving me the opportunities to get me to this stage of my career. A new journey and hard work starts now”
Harry Hudson, Kinetic co-founder: “Massive congratulations to Kevin. He is a Romanian youth international who plays left back or can play left wing back. Very attack minded. Powerful runner, good dribbler, gets forward well and contributes really well in the offensive phases. Defensively he’s worked really hard with us so he covers both those sides of his game. He’s very good aerially, a strong player with an exceptionally high ceiling so looking forward to seeing how he gets on and watching his progress at Rangers!”
A massive thank you to Harris Academy Tottenham where Kevin did his education through our academy programme. They provided a fantastic platform to support Kevin in his studying of Double Sport and Single Business including extra support with English language. The school were really great in helping Kevin juggle football trials at various clubs while keeping up with his education.
Kevin himself added: “I really enjoyed my time at Harris Academy Tottenham because the teachers always helped me if was struggling and were very patient. The time between school and football was managed very well so that we could balance the two. When I went on trial at all the clubs I’ve been too, they were really understanding and gave me the time off school which I was grateful for”
Kevin will join fellow Kinetic graduate Joe Aribo at the Scottish Premiership club. Aribo won the league title with Rangers last season, going on to end the league campaign undefeated with a club record 102 points.
