Troubled former Newcastle striker Nile Ranger has got his own name inked onto the side of his face, as the 22-year old unveiled his new tattoo on Instagram with a powerful message.

According to the Mirror, Ranger left Newcastle as a free agent towards the end of last season and has been searching for a new club ever since.

The striker has also been involved in a host of controversial incidents including being charged for pulling his girlfriend's hair during a street row and a rape last month, the report said.

The report added that the player has quite often enraged fans on social networking sites while being pictured posing with a replica hand gun in 2011 and posting a picture on Twitter of his name spelled out in 20 pound notes.

The tattoo is not his first, as he already has a smiley face inked on the inside of his bottom lip, the report further said.
