Dujon Sterling, an English character who clocks in at 6ft 1in (1.86m) and weighs 12st 10lb (81kg), currently masquerades as a right back for the Rangers. Now, twenty-five years of age, Sterling displays his might donning the illustrious number 21 jersey.
Born on the 24th of October, 1999, this defender's journey to mulish excellence began when he was welcomed as a trainee by Chelsea in the Premier League. It was a warm July in 2015, and the whippersnapper was filled with dreams, most likely of being knighted or annexing France.
By 2018, much to the chagrin and likely relief of Chelsea, Sterling was transferred on loan to Coventry City, swapping the Premier League for Championship excitement. Not one for consistency, however, our intrepid journeyman ventured further downwards for a taste of League One football with Wigan Athletic in August 2019. Here, he honoured the pitch with his presence a modest eight times in league matches during his debut season (2019 - 2020).
Lo and behold, Sterling marked his dance card with yet another loan move in August 2021, joining Blackpool. With 24 first team appearances in the 2021 - 2022 season, Sterling made his intentions clear - he was not going to be a wallflower. August 2022 saw him borrowed by Stoke City, and in the ensuing Championship season (2022 - 2023), he graced the field in 26 league matches.
Finally, in July 2023, our roaming mercenary locked in his sights on the cold, damp allure of the Scottish Premiership, joining Rangers. During his debut season at Ibrox (2023 - 2024), Sterling clocked in 24 league appearances. In the current season, 2024 - 2025, he has already made an impressive 18 first team appearances.
Sterling is no stranger to cup and continental adventures either. Under his impressively expanding belt are two starts in the League Cup (2024 - 2025), a romp in the Europa League (2023 - 2024), where he even dared to score a goal, and another in both the Champions League qualifiers (2024 - 2025) and the current Europa League season, totalling seven noteworthy appearances thus far.
No information on our transient subject would be complete without mentioning his enviable boot collection brought exclusively from Chelsea, receiving a fresh stamp in each club he so generously graced with his time. Perhaps his most striking quality, however, remains his uncanny, or dare I say, ambitious, habit of swapping clubs like worn-out socks. Best of luck to Rangers, they’ll certainly need it.
