Jack Thomson joins Kilmarnock on two-year deal

We are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Jack Thomson, who joins the club after most recently playing with Queen’s Park.

Thomson arrives at BBSP Stadium, Rugby Park on a two-year deal, pending SFA approval, and the 25-year-old is eager to get started as pre-season kicks off this week.

Speaking after finalising the move, Thomson said:
“I’m really happy to be here. It’s been a long time coming, I have known about it for quite a while now.

“I signed the pre-contract in January. So it’s a long time thinking about things and itching to get going, it’s a while to wait, but now I just can’t wait to start pre-season this week.

“The club’s got a lot of history. The team is always competitive, competing at a really good level. It just felt like a natural step from where I’ve been. I’m just excited to play with really good players at a really good level and see how well I can do.”

Thomson also spoke highly of his early discussions with Stuart Kettlewell:
“My conversations with the manager have been really positive. When I seen he was announced, I was excited.

“You speak to the people you know in football and try to find out as much as you can and everything that was said about the manager was really positive.

“And then obviously speaking to him, I have the exact same impression. So I can’t wait to get on the pitch and be working with him.”

Manager Stuart Kettlewell added:
“Jack is a player that I’ve inherited and I’m delighted that’s the case. He is an ambitious player with great ability and I’m confident that he will fit right into our squad.

“I’ve had positive conversations with Jack and I’m looking forward to getting to work with him and the rest of the players.”

Welcome to Killie, Jack.
