Bournemouth have confirmed that veteran striker Jermain Defoe has completed his 18-month loan deal to Scottish side Rangers.
The 36-year-old found first-team opportunities hard to come by this season. He accumulated just 21 minutes of Premier League action, prompting rumours of a move away from the club, and he will now spend the next 18 months turning out for Steven Gerrard's Rangers.
Bournemouth confirmed the news on their official website. As part of the deal, the Cherries will have the option to recall Defoe in either July 2019 or January 2020.
