Age: 22
2022-2023 Season with Rangers FC (all competitions): 27 appearances, 1 goal, 6 yellow cards, 1 red card, 1,770 minutes played

What went right in 2022:
James Sands made the move to Europe right at the start of 2022, then was eased in by Rangers FC manager (and former New York City FC target) Giovanni van Bronckhorst. He started in his debut away to Aberdeen, but ultimately made just seven starts in the 32 Rangers matches across all competitions for which he was eligible in that initial 2021-2022 season, with seven additional substitute appearances.
