Djenairo Daniels joins Kilmarnock on two-year deal

We are delighted to announce the signing of Djenairo Daniels, who joins from Cork City on a two-year deal after an undisclosed agreement between the sides, pending SFA approval.

The 23-year-old striker brings quality to the squad having played with the League of Ireland side after Icelandic side Fram Reykjavík, Leixões in Portugal and Canadian Premier League side Pacific FC. He was also part of PSV and Utrecht’s Jong sides.

Speaking about the move, Daniels said: “I’m very happy to be here. I couldn’t wait until everything was done, I’m finally here now, so I’m happy about that.

“The decision was very quick, because it’s a big stage, a big opportunity for me and my career. That was the decision I had to make for myself, and it was the best I am sure.”

On manager Stuart Kettlewell, Daniels said: “The chats with him were positive. He talked about how he wanted to play and what his plans were, and that I would fit perfectly in his plans. His ambitions match mine so that is what I want.”

Manager Stuart Kettlewell said: “Djenairo is one that we’ve been aware of for a while and his qualities are clear to see.

“He’s been playing consistently recently and we’re confident he will come in and hit the ground running, and that he can add to the quality we already have in the squad.

“He’s joins up with the squad today and we’re looking forward to working with him.”

Welcome to Killie, Djenairo!
