Kyle Lafferty has found a new club after his shock exit from Kilmarnock.
The Northern Ireland legend is back in his home nation after signing a deal with champions Linfield until the end of the season. Lafferty was a surprise departure from Rugby Park on deadline day, with the Ayrshire club confirming that he left due to “disciplinary issues.” The striker had recently derived a 10-match ban after being found guilty by the SFA of using a sectarian slur in a video that emerged on social media last year.
Now the former Rangers and Hearts striker is back in blue after signing for former Ibrox and international teammate David Healy’s side until the end of the season. Linfield are four points off the pace in the Northern Irish Premier Division title race, trailing Belfast rivals Cliftonville who lead, and second placed Larne by one point. They will be hoping Lafferty can provide the goals to fire them back to the summit.
