Kevin McHattie joins Raith Rovers from Kilmarnock

McHattie will work with manager Gary Locke for the third time

Kevin McHattie has joined Scottish Championship side Raith Rovers after leaving Premiership Kilmarnock.

The 22-year-old moved to Rugby Park in September on a three-year deal after agreeing an early release from Hearts.

He played in 22 matches for Killie but only started three times after manager Lee Clark arrived in mid-February.

Capped six times for Scotland at under-21 level, McHattie has signed a 12-month deal at Stark's Park, joining boss Gary Locke once again.

Locke took McHattie to Kilmarnock, having coached the left-back during his time at Tynecastle.

"I know exactly what he's capable of and it's great we've been able to get him signed because I know he's decided to come to us despite considerable interest from other top clubs," Locke told the Rovers website.
