Jamie Murphy has completed his move from Albion to Glasgow Rangers - initially on loan.

The 28-year-old winger has signed until the end of the season with the move expected to become permanent when the summer transfer window opens.

Murphy, who had struggled for playing time in the Premier League, now gets the chance to play for the club he has supported from childhood.

Albion boss Chris Hughton said: “Jamie is a great lad, a fantastic professional and has a desire to play - and while we were in no hurry to see him leave, we do understand his desire to play for his boyhood team and one of the biggest clubs in Scotland.

“He’s been excellent for the club, ever since we signed him from Sheffield United, and wrote himself into club folklore as a crucial part of our promotion-winning side last season.

“On behalf of all at the club, I’d like to thank Jamie for his efforts and achievements during his time here and wish him the very best for the future.”
