NEW YORK (AP) — Midfielder James Sands returned to New York City FC from Glasgow Rangers on Wednesday and agreed to a five-year contract.
The 22-year-old from Rye went on loan to Rangers in January 2022 in a deal that gave the Scottish club an option to buy. He made 41 appearances for Rangers in all competitions, helping win the Scottish Cup and reach the Europa League final.
Sands made his professional debut with NYC in 2017 and helped the team win the 2021 Major League Soccer title.
