Former Newcastle United forward Nile Ranger has unveiled a new tattoo that will ensure that nobody will ever forget his name.

The 22-year-old, who already has a smiley face inked inside his lower lip, has now had his own surname permanently imprinted above his right eye.

Ranger, who is currently a free agent after being released by the Magpies in March, published a picture of the artwork on his Instagram account.

The image was accompanied by the message: "My name RINGS BELLS #POWERFUL #RANGER #INKKING."

Ranger is due in a Newcastle court next month to face a charge of rape.
