Kilmarnock have completed the signing of Kyle Magennis following his exit from Hibs.

The Easter Road side came to an agreement with the 24-year old to terminate his contract.

Derek McInnes has acted quickly and snapped up the former Scotland youth international on a two-year deal.

Magennis started his career at St Mirren before sealing a move to Leith in 2020.

He will now look to kickstart his career again at Rugby Park after an injury-hit few years.

He told the club's official 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.”

On his exit from Hibs, manager Lee Johnson said: “Kyle was a well-respected member of the squad, and we wish him well for the future. He will always be welcome at Easter Road.”
