Kilmarnock midfielder Aaron Tshibola has committed to another year at the Scottish Premiership club, signing for a fifth time at Rugby Park

The 31-year-old, part of DR Congo's World Cup squad this summer, played a crucial role in the second half of last season.

Tshibola was instrumental in helping the team avoid relegation, and has effectively started his fourth spell at Rugby Park, having first joined in 2018.

In his unveiling video, the former Aston Villa player said: "I've been around the world, but only one place truly feels like home. I hear you singing my name from the back of the stands.

"It's an exciting new era for the club, new pitch, new training ground, new ambitions - and I'm buzzing to be a part of it."

The club praised Tshibola's contribution, stating: "He was integral to the way Neil McCann's side finished the campaign strongly, securing the club's top-flight status in style."
