Kilmarnock have added a new striker to their ranks just in time before the end of the loan window.
Callum Hendry has joined until the end of the season from Tommy Wright's former club St Johnstone.
The hitman links up with the Rugby Park club ahead of their cinch Championship clash with Raith Rovers and he is delighted to reunite with his former manager.
He told the club's website: “It feels amazing to be here and I’m delighted to get the move done. I’m looking forward to playing under Tommy again and just before he left Saints I was playing the best football of my career.
“I want to get into the team and score goals here because it is such a big club and I’m determined to help Kilmarnock return to the Premiership.”
Wright was equally pleased to be reunited with the attacker, adding: “Callum is someone I have a lot of faith in, having signed him as a young player.
“During my time at St Johnstone, he proved he could score goals at the highest level and he had a decent loan at Aberdeen so even though he’s still quite young, he’s got experience of playing in the top flight.
“He’s very good in the air, an excellent finisher and he’s someone I think will only get better and better with games.
“He’s slightly different to the strikers we’ve got and will provide real competition and that’s what I wanted. I’ve not hiding anything from any of the strikers – I said I wanted a number of forwards here to make sure we can be a real force.”
