A short club statement read: "We can confirm that Kyle Magennis has left Hibernian FC.
"The club and the 24-year-old midfielder have come to an agreement to terminate his contract this summer.
"Magennis joined Hibs back in October 2020 and has gone on to make 49 appearances in all competitions, scoring seven goals. Unfortunately, his game-time was severely hampered due to injury."
On his move to new club Kilmarnock, he told the official club website: “The gaffer has always been interested in me and he’s someone I wanted to work with, so over the past few weeks the move has fallen into place.
“It’s a fresh start for me. I’ve had a tough few seasons with injuries, but I’m feeling good and ready to go. I know that if I’m playing, I’ll be a big asset to the club.
