Kilmarnock's third summer signing is Blair Alston as Tommy Wright's rebuild continues today.
The central midfielder has been reunited with the Rugby Park gaffer ahead of Killie's Championship campaign having enjoyed a successful period working under him at St Johnstone.
Alston, 29, has gained valuable experience during spells in the top-flight with the Saintees and Hamilton Accies, as well as promotion pushes with hometown team Falkirk.
He joins ex-Dunfermline Athletic defender Euan Murray and former Raith Rovers midfielder Daniel Armstrong at Rugby Park as the club's newest recruits and takes the number of players in the first-team squad to eight.
Speaking to the club website after signing a deal until the summer of 2023, Blair said: “I’m happy to be here. I’ve been looking forward to this ever since the manager got in touch with me.
“I’ve obviously worked with the boss before, I know what he’s about and how he can get the best out of the boys. Hopefully we can put together a strong team and have a good season.”
Delighted boss Wright added: “I’m really pleased to get Blair. He was someone who I really didn’t want to leave St Johnstone.
“Blair will do extremely well in this league, he’s got a lot of quality. His attitude is excellent and he pops up with important goals. He’ll improve us a lot in that middle area and chip in with goals and assists.”
