Aarons is a player that Martin knows well, having spent time together in Norwich, and will provide competition to Captain James Tavernier.
Speaking after joining the Rangers, Aarons said: “I am delighted to be here, because you can see it, it’s a huge club and you realize that when you cross the doors, I can’t wait to start.
“I have a lot of experience now in different leagues and I have played a lot of games. I think I can bring this experience, I can bring a new energy, and I think that rangers fans can be excited – I can’t wait to be there.”
The Rangers boss, Martin, added: “Max is a player on which I always kept a careful eye because he was emerging in the ranks of young people when I came at the end of my time to Norwich as a player. He is a wonderfully talented player who is hungry to develop, improve and help to offer success on his side.”
