Dunfermline sign former Kilmarnock defender Lee Ashcroft

Lee Ashcroft played 20 times for Kilmarnock last season

Dunfermline have signed defender Lee Ashcroft following the defender's exit from Kilmarnock.

Ashcroft played 20 games for Killie last season, including the 4-0 second-leg playoff final victory over Falkirk that kept the club in the top flight.

However, manager Lee Clark elected not to offer Ashcroft, 22, a new deal after his contract at Rugby Park expired.

The Pars have already bolstered their squad with the signing of Inverness midfielder Nat Wedderburn.
