Danny Whitehall wants to get back on the goal trail after joining Kilmarnock on a six-month deal.

The 24-year-old striker becomes Alex Dyer’s fourth summer signing following the arrivals of Aaron McGowan, Mitch Pinnock and Zeno Rossi.

He told Kilmarnock’s official website: “I’m very excited to be joining a massive club in a top league and I can’t wait to get back to playing games and hopefully scoring goals.

“The past few weeks have been great and I’m really enjoying being back to the normality of a football environment and training day in, day out with a great bunch of lads.

“I’m aiming to contribute to the team as much as I can, score goals and push for a place in the starting XI each week.”

Dyer said: “I’ve watched him for quite a while when he was with Maidenhead.

“He scored a few goals there last season and he’s got an opportunity to step to the next level.

“I’ve signed him on a six-month contract to see how he goes and hopefully when he gets his chance, he’ll do good things for this football club.”
