Kilmarnock have announced the signing of Liverpool midfielder James Balagizi on loan until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old spent the first half of this season on loan at League One side Wigan Athletic, having previously spent time at Crawley Town in League Two.

“I’m really excited to get the deal done, I am happy with the project at the club and excited to get things going," Balagizi said.

“The manager did well at convincing me to come, hearing the plan that he’s got.

“The team is building something really exciting for the fans and for the club itself, so to come here and hopefully add to that is part of my plan.

“Fans can expect an exciting player, I work hard on and off the ball and always look to make things happen.

“Creativity is my main thing, I play box-to-box and aim to get fans off their seats.”
