Cole Burke agrees new Killie contract

Kilmarnock Football Club is pleased to confirm that Cole Burke has signed a new contract.

The 17-year-old has signed an 18-month deal to commit his future at BBSP Stadium Rugby Park until December 2027.

Son of club stalwart Chris Burke, Cole has come through the academy ranks at Ayrshire’s top club. He played an important role in our Scottish Youth Cup triumph in 2025, and would make his professional debut against Motherwell a few weeks later, before earning another first team outing against Hearts before the end of the 2024/25 campaign.

Cole gained further first team experience on loan at League One outfit Queen of the South last season.

He will continue to wear number 37, and will travel with his fellow teammates to Northern Ireland as Neil McCann’s men up their pre-season preparations next week.
