Paul Cairney signs two year deal with Kilmarnock

Former Hibs’ midfielder Paul Cairney has joined Kilmarnock on a two year contract.

The 26-year-old Glaswegian was released by Terry Butcher at the end of last season.

Cairney started his career at Queen’s Park and moved to Partick Thistle in 2008, scoring 20 goals during a four year spell at Firhill.

He moved to Hibs in 2012 under then manager Pat Fenlon and made 53 appearances in two years.

His Easter Road career was blighted with an injury picked up in pre-season training at the start of the campaign.
