'An exciting one' - Killie sign 6ft 7in striker Dackers

Kilmarnock have completed the "exciting" signing of 6ft 7in striker Marcus Dackers, who "brings much more" than aerial prowess, says manager Stuart Kettlewell.

The 22-year-old, who joins from Salford City and has signed a one-year deal, spent last season on loan at English League Two Morecambe where he netted one goal in 39 appearances.

"Marcus is an exciting one that we are delighted to get over the line," said Kettlewell.

"His height will be a obvious advantage, but he brings much more than that and I'm confident he can complement our squad."

Dackers is convinced he has made the "right move" to Rugby Park, adding: "I am really happy to be here, it's my first time in Scotland playing football.

"I've been on a lot of loans now and it feels like a new chapter in my career, it's a good opportunity for me."
