Kilmarnock have signed Niko Hamalainen as their fifth signing of the summer.
The Queens Park Rangers left-back has joined on loan to the Rugby Park side for a season, following signings of Laurentiu Branescu, Mohamed El Makrini, Alex Bruce and Liam Millar.
A Kilmarnock statement on their website said: "Kilmarnock Football Club is pleased to confirm the arrival of Niko Hamalainen on a season-long loan from Queens Park Rangers.
"Niko was raised in the United States but has played international football for Finland, qualifying through his father.
"The 22-year-old has been at Loftus Road since 2014 and earlier this year, he enjoyed a loan spell with Major League Soccer outfit Los Angeles FC.
"Primarily a left-back, Niko can also play at centre back as well as midfield and will wear the number 14 jersey this season."
