Forest Green Rovers are delighted to announce the signing of highly-rated midfielder Charlie McCann.

The 20-year-old has penned a long-term contract at the The Bolt New Lawn after joining the club from Scottish giants Rangers.

The technical midfielder began his career at hometown club Coventry City - before sealing a move to Manchester United at the age of 16.

McCann featured heavily in United’s youth teams for a number of years, before he was snapped up by Rangers in the summer of 2021.

He made a number of first-team appearances during his time at the Gers, making his professional debut last February. He made his Scottish Premiership debut in a 2-1 win over Dundee United at Ibrox last term.

The youngster has been capped twice by Northern Ireland Under-21s - and received a senior squad call-up in May.

Upon joining Rovers, McCann said: “It feels great to have signed. I’m delighted to get it over the line and I can’t wait to get started.

“Hopefully I can start getting minutes under my belt very soon.”

Head of Performance & Recruitment, Stevie Grieve, added: “We are delighted to welcome Charlie to the club.

“He is an absolutely outstanding talent, who we will work with to develop for the future.

“He has demonstrated maturity and conviction to make the decision to come to Forest Green. We can’t wait to work with him.”

Charlie will wear the number 14 shirt at FGR. If you’re interested in sponsoring our latest signing, please email hospitality@fgr.co.uk.
