Watkins joins Kilmarnock as McInnes reunited with ex-Aberdeen forward

Marley Watkins has joined Kilmarnock on a one-year deal.

The forward, 32, penned a deal to reunite with Derek McInnes after his departure from Aberdeen.

Watkins had been signed previously by McInnes during his time at Pittdorie and will now link up with the manager at Rugby Park.

The transfer news comes after Lewis Mayo completed a transfer switch from Rangers to Kilmarnock - worth a six-figure fee - on Thursday.

A Kilmarnock statement read: "Kilmarnock FC are pleased to announce the signing of experienced forward Marley Watkins, who has joined the club on a one-year deal.

"Watkins has previously enjoyed spells on both sides of the border, impressing with Inverness Caledonian Thistle before going on to represent the likes of Barnsley, Norwich City and Bristol City.

"The 32-year-old Wales international will now reunite with Derek McInnes, having been signed by the manager in his time at Aberdeen.

"Everyone at the club would like to wish Marley a warm welcome to Ayrshire."
