​The Gers confirmed the deal earlier today with an official update on their club website. The 26-year-old New Zealand international attacker is set to ply her trade in Scotland, moving north of the border after parting ways with her previous club, Durham, earlier this summer. Blake spent two seasons with The Wildcats, having joined from Adelaide United in the A-League, and she made 16 appearances for Durham in last season’s Barclays WSL2 campaign, scoring one goal.
Upon finalising the move to Rangers, Blake expressed her excitement about the new chapter. “It is really exciting,” she said, reflecting on her first few days in Glasgow. “I have settled in nicely, and the girls have been incredibly welcoming. It already feels like home, which is a great feeling.” She continued, “Rangers is a massive club, and that was a big part of what attracted me. After speaking with Leanne [Crichton] and Donald [Gillies], it’s clear the club has enormous ambition and a clear drive to win. That excites me a lot.”
Blake highlighted the style and philosophy she hopes to contribute to at Rangers. “Leanne wants to play an attacking brand of football, to dominate games, and to win—at all costs—especially as an attacking player. That prospect is incredibly appealing, and it made the decision a relatively straightforward one,” she added.
Joining a Rangers squad eager to advance on multiple fronts, Blake will help the team push for domestic success while also aiming to make an impact in European competition. The recruitment signals Rangers’ intent to build on their recent progress and to challenge for silverware across both national league play and continental stages. Her arrival comes as part of a broader strategy to strengthen the squad in key positions and to boost the club’s competitive outlook for the coming seasons.
Blake’s move to Ibrox is expected to bring added attacking options and experience, especially in high-stakes matches where quality and pace can tilt results. As she integrates with the squad, fans will be watching to see how her dynamism and goal-threat translate into Rangers’ style of play, with the team aiming to capitalize on their domestic form while pursuing deeper runs in European competition. The transfer highlights Rangers’ continued commitment to elevating their performance levels and reinforcing their status as contenders in both Scotland and Europe.
