CONNOR GOLDSON hopes he can kick-start his career after moving to Rangers from Brighton this summer.

The defender agreed a four-year deal at Ibrox last week as he brought an end to a frustrating spell with the Seagulls.

A heart problem kept Goldson out of the game for several months and his chances in the Premier League were limited last term due to the form of Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy.

Now he has an opportunity to establish himself at Ibrox after becoming the sixth signing of the summer for boss Steven Gerrard.

Goldson said: “It's been amazing but also frustrating at times. Getting injured pre-season after doing well in the first season was a big setback.

"Then, midway through the second season, having my heart troubles. I just think there's a lot more that I could have done and could have proved.

“I always wanted to do more, but at the same I have to remember what the club did for me - taking me from Shrewsbury when we had just gone up from League One into the Championship.

“Then losing in the play-offs, to getting promoted and staying in the Premier League - it was unbelievable.

“All the support I had throughout the surgery from everyone - the players, the staff and the fans - they were all brilliant with me. I can only look back with good memories.

"We had a great group of boys. We had a good core in the team for a good few years. A few have left now, like Liam Rosenior and Steve Sidwell, but we get on really closely.

“Everyone knows how close me and Dunky are, so I’m sure we'll stay in touch. I'll miss a lot of things about the place. There are amazing people that work there.”
