Kilmarnock striker Kyle Vassell has signed a new two-year deal with the club.

The 30-year old joined from San Diego Loyal in January on an initial contract until the end of this campaign.

Derek McInnes has now made the move to keep him beyond the summer.

The Northern Ireland international has yet to open his account in the Premiership but has scored twice in the Scottish Cup.

He told the club's official website: “It’s well documented that I’ve represented a number of clubs, but there’s something about Kilmarnock that instantly made the place feel like home.

"The passion of supporters and intensity of the league is exactly what I was searching for at this stage of my career.

“The opportunity to continue working under the manager would have been enough to sign an extension alone, so it’s one of the easiest decisions I’ve had to make.

"Support from the boss, coaching staff and fans has been incredible since I joined the club and I’m determined to repay every one of them for the faith that they have shown in me.”
