The fact that Nile Ranger is parting ways with a club early in the season is not exactly something new.
The serial spendthrift has a trail of clubs with which he has parted ways, and who invariably does not leave on the best terms.
Kettering Town have released an official statement (see below) revealing that they are now the very last to say goodbye to Nile Ranger.
This time, however, there is a big twist.
The owner of Kettering Town who has only good things to say about Nile Ranger.
He praised Nile Ranger’s ‘commitment’ to the club over the past thirteen months and wished him every success in the future.
Perhaps the penny has finally dropped for the former Newcastle United player, too bad it allows him to play in the seventh tier of English football at the age of 34…
Kettering Town FC official statement – October 12, 2025:
‘Kettering Town FC can confirm that Nile Ranger has left the club by mutual consent with immediate effect.
Ranger made his debut against St Ives Town on 9 September 2024 and scored his first goal, a penalty, in the (FAC2Q) draw against Cleethorpes Town in our 1-0 win.
After making his 50th appearance at Alvechurch on Saturday, as joint top scorer in the league with six goals in ten games and eighteen goals in all competitions, Nile will forever be remembered as part of recent Poppies folklore with his unforgettable winning goal at Sixfields against Northampton Town in the FAC1Rd in front of the BBC cameras.
The club’s owner, George Akhtar, commented: “I would like to personally thank Nile Ranger for the memories he left faithful to Kettering Town. His dedication to the club, both on and off the pitch, is a testament to him. You will be missed. Great players perform in big games and that is what Nile Ranger embodies. Good Nile.”
The Club wishes Nile every success in his playing career and Nile knows he has a family who would always welcome him back to Latimer Park.
UTP.’
