Danny Whitehall has put pen to paper at Kilmarnock this week.
The Kilmarnock Standard first revealed that he was on Alex Dyer’s radar last month – and he has now signed on an initial six-month deal.
The English striker joins after being non-league Maidenhead United’s top goalscorer last season. They are in the same division as Nicke Kabamba’s former side Hartlepool United.
He said: “I’m very excited to be joining a massive club in a top league and I can’t wait to get back to playing games and hopefully scoring goals.
“The past few weeks have been great and I’m really enjoying being back to the normality of a football environment and training day in, day out with a great bunch of lads.
“I’m aiming to contribute to the team as much as I can, score goals and push for a place in the starting 11 each week.”
● Meanwhile, Killie are still looking to add fresh faces to their ranks.
JJ Hooper, most recently at Wrexham, is on the club’s radar after scoring in a 3-2 win over Motherwell in a friendly at Fir Park.
Former Aberdeen goalkeeper Danny Rogers also featured in the first half alongside Brandon Haunstrup, who is on trial after rejecting a new deal at Portsmouth.
