Former Watford and Motherwell defender becomes the latest star to make tier five East Kilbride switch

Former Watford and Motherwell kid Tom Leighton has signed for East Kilbride on loan from Cove Rangers.

The defender becomes the latest star to make the move to the Lowland League as Stevie Aitken makes his eleventh signing of the window so far.

The 20-year-old signed a deal at Fir Park after leaving school before he was snapped up by The Hornets youth academy in 2017.

Last season he impressed in League Two as Cove won the League Two title and promotion during the curtailed campaign.

Leighton, who can play at left-back and centre-back, could make his debut against Gala Fairydean Rovers at the K-Park today.
