Spanish winger Aaron is keen to establish himself at Rangers after rejecting the chance to return to Valencia.

The 20-year-old, who moved to Ibrox on a two-year loan deal from the Spanish club, made just five appearances and only one start during a disappointing first campaign.

Reports had suggested the youngster was keen to cut short the agreement and return to his homeland, but he is eager to prove his worth to Gers boss Walter Smith.

Aaron told the club's official website: "Valencia wanted me to go back to them for this season but I was keen to come back to Rangers.

"I am due to spend one more year at the club and I want to stay there. I think it is a good place for me to be and I want to help the team to do well.

"I am hopeful I can play more football than I did in my first season in Scotland because I have got used to the game there now and I feel I have improved.

"I was very happy in Glasgow and I'm looking forward to going back there and trying to win more trophies for the club."

Training

Aaron has impressed while on international duty with Spain's Under-20 side at the Mediterranean Games in Italy.

He added: "When we finish here, I will be looking forward to coming back to Rangers and it will be good to get back to training there.

"I am not sure if I will get extra time off or not because I have been playing in Italy. I will have to speak to the manager about that.

"But even if I get a few more days off to go home and relax, I will be keen to come back to Rangers after that and get started again."
