The move comes as a free transfer, following Opara’s departure from the Jos-based club due to the expiration of his contract at the conclusion of the previous season.
This transfer sees Opara reuniting with former Plateau United head coach Fidelis Ilechukwu, forging a professional connection that dates back to their time together at the now-defunct Mountain of Fire and Miracle Football Club (MFM FC) in Lagos.
Austin Opara, a seasoned center-back, had spent two fruitful years at Plateau United before embarking on this new chapter in his career.
His arrival at Rangers International is poised to inject a wealth of experience into the team, enhancing their defensive capabilities as they gear up for the upcoming season.
Opara’s reputation as one of the highly-rated defenders in the Nigerian top-flight league precedes him, making him a valuable asset for Rangers. With his arrival, the club aims to strengthen its defensive line and elevate its performance in the coming season.
As Rangers International continues its preparations for the new season, the acquisition of Austin Opara is a strategic move that demonstrates the club’s commitment to bolstering its squad and competing at the highest level in Nigerian football.
Supporters eagerly anticipate witnessing Opara’s contributions on the pitch as he dons the iconic blue jersey of Rangers International.
