As part of Scottish football’s new cooperation agreement, we have teamed up with Premiership side Kilmarnock and are delighted to welcome attacking midfielder Cole Burke to the squad.

The agreement lets up and coming Scotland players aged between 16 and 21 to move between a lower league team and their parent club throughout the season. 

Cole who has already represented the national side at Under 16 and 17 levels is the son of former Rangers, Kilmarnock and Scotland player Chris Burke.

Manager Peter Murphy said “The new scheme introduced by the Scottish Football Association gives younger players a great chance to develop whilst being part of a first team squad.  Cole who turns 17 next week is a player with a lot of potential, he is a key part of Kilmarnock’s youth team and helped them get to the Youth Cup final last season.  Despite his age he has already been involved at first team level with the Rugby Park club.  We are delighted to have entered a partnership with Kilmarnock and look forward to seeing how that and Cole develops throughout the season.”
