RYAN KENT looks set to finally end his football exile.
The former Rangers star has been without a club for five months since his release from Fenerbahce in October.

Kent, 28, had fallen out of favour under boss Jose Mourinho and featured in just TWO games in 2024.
His last appearance was 68 minutes of a Champions League qualifier against Lugano in July and prior to that he was given just five minutes of game time in a natch against Alanyaspor back in February.
The winger’s time in Turkey was a bit of a nightmare, playing in just 19 games since joining in the summer of 2023.
He was originally signed by Ismail Kartal but was bombed from the first team squad after just a few months.
That was in spite of a decent enough start for him at the club, scoring a goal on his debut.
Kent’s name had been mentioned regarding a possible return to Rangers but interest from Ibrox never seemed truly concrete.
We reported last month that he was viewed as a potential target for two La Liga clubs in Real Sociedad and Villarreal.
But nothing came of it and now, ahead of the new MLS season, a potential suitor from America has emerged.
It’s been reported in the States that Kent is in advanced talks with the Seattle Sounders over a two-year deal.
Playing in the USA would be the fifth country where Kent has played football in, following from England, Germany, Scotland and Turkey.
The former Liverpool youngster initially joined Rangers on loan in 2018 under Steven Gerrard and scored six goals in 43 appearances, winning the Premiership in 2021 and playing a crucial part in the run to the Europa League final a year later.
He signed for the Light Blues on a permanent deal in the summer of 2019 for £7m and was a fan favourite for much of his time in Glasgow.
Kent finished his Gers career with 33 goals from 218 appearances but his performance levels had tailed off in his final two seasons.
Meanwhile, Celtic are believed to be interested in a summer transfer for one of Arne Engels’ former team mates.
Kosovan international Elvis Rexhbeçaj partnered Engels in the Augsburg midfield before the Belgian’s £11m move to the Hoops at the start of this season.
