Juventus goalkeeper Laurentiu Branescu has become Angelo Alessio’s first signing as Kilmarnock manager.

The 25-year-old Romanian has joined on a season-long loan from the Italian champions.

He told the club’s official website: “I am very glad to be here and I hope I can play my part in the club enjoying another great season.

“I’ve been made to feel very welcome so far and I can’t wait to play in front of the Killie fans.”

Branescu will compete with Jamie MacDonald for the goalkeeper’s jersey following the end of Daniel Bachmann’s loan deal from Watford.
