Portsmouth clinch deal for Vignal

He is the sort of player who will fit in well

Pompey chief executive Peter Storrie

Portsmouth have completed the signing of 23-year-old utility man Gregory Vignal on a two-year deal.

The Frenchman moves to Fratton Park from Liverpool having spent a year-long loan with Scottish champions Rangers.

Vignal joined Liverpool in 2000 from Montpelier for �500,000 but made just 14 appearances for the Reds.

"We're pleased another quality signing is to join, who can be an asset in a number of positions," chairman Milan Mandaric told Pompey's website.

Rangers were keen to retain Vignal permanently but the player rejected their offer in favour of a return to England with Pompey.

Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie said Vignal's versatility would be an asset.

"When his chance came at Rangers he showed what a fine all-round player he is and though he is a defender he likes to get forward," he told Portsmouth's website.

"He is the sort of player who will fit in well."
