Rangers take AFC Sudbury striker Shane Temple on trial

Rangers have taken AFC Sudbury striker Shane Temple on trial as the Ibrox side runs the rule over the 18-year-old.

A general view of the Rangers Training Centre

The youngster, who came through the ranks at Braintree Town before making the move to Suffolk, has made a handful of appearances for the Isthmian League North side and was still just 17 when he scored all four goals in just his third start for the Yellows in a 4-2 FA Cup preliminary round win against Harborough Town in September 2020.

Temple made his debut for AFC Sudbury in October 2019 and is under contract at King's Marsh until June 2021.

He was voted AFC Sudbury’s Young Player of the Year for the 2019/20 season after impressing for the club’s Academy teams.

The centre-forward is expected to participate in an 11-a-side internal game at the Rangers Training Centre as the Gers continue to cast an eye over the Cambridge-born player.
