Beasley Prepares for Rangers Exit

Embattled American winger DaMarcus Beasley is apparently seeking an exit from the Ibrox.

After joining Rangers from PSV Eindhoven in 2007, U.S. international midfielder DaMarcus Beasley expected to enjoy a lengthy spell with the successful Scottish club.

Unfortunately, after just over two years with the club, Beasley has seen his opportunities to play become limited and he may be after a move in the January transfer window.

"It has been frustrating and I'm looking to move away from Rangers,” Beasley told the YanksAbroad.com. “It's not that I'm not happy with the club, it's just that I want to play. I'm only 27 and I feel like I have another six, seven or eight years left.”

Beasley must also have an on next summer’s World Cup as not playing for his club team has caused USMNT coach Bob Bradley to not pick him for his squad since the Confederations Cup in June.

"My options are open. It might be a move back to Holland or maybe Spain,” said Beasley of where he may end up. “But it needs to be the right situation, where I get a chance to play and stake my claim to US coach Bob Bradley about getting back on the national team and playing at the World Cup next summer."

A native of Fort Wayne, Indiana, Beasley started his professional career with the Los Angeles Galaxy but never played and eventually was traded to the Chicago Fire whom he flourished with making 88 appearances and scoring 14 goals.


He’s also an experienced player at the international level having made 89 appearances for the USMNT since 2001 and has netted 17 goals in the process.
