Former Celtic youngster Kerr McInroy joins Kilmarnock as midfielder pens two-year deal

Kilmarnock have bolstered their midfield with a second summer signing.

Kerr McInroy joins Alan Power through the Rugby Park doors, as the centre-mid links up with the East Ayrshire side.

The 21-year-old starred for rivals Ayr United in the Scottish Championship last season, scoring against Derek McInnes' side in the 3-1 Killie win at Somerset.

After penning a two-year deal, McInroy told the club's website: “I’m delighted to be here and buzzing to get the deal done in time for pre-season starting so I’m looking forward to getting going with the boys.

“I wanted to go to a club that wanted me and play at the highest level possible. I spoke to the manager and he really wanted to get me in so that had a big helping hand in my decision.

“I look forward to bedding in as quickly as possible and seeing how I fit in to the squad.”

Boss McInnes added: “Kerr is a player we came up against last season for Ayr and we feel he can give us that nice left sided balance in the middle of the pitch.

“He’s a good age to try and develop to get those improvements from him in our team. We’ve liked what we’ve seen from him and it’s a step up for him to play in the Premiership so we’re pleased to get him on board.”
