We want to build a squad with strong foundations and a real hunger to push forward. Jamie ticks all the boxes in that regard, and I’m delighted he’s chosen to continue his career here at Kilmarnock.”
Brandon is set to join his new teammates next week as pre-season preparations begin at BBSP Stadium, Rugby Park. The club has extended a warm welcome to Jamie and his family to Ayrshire, and fans will be eagerly anticipating his debut in the upcoming season. With this signing, Kilmarnock FC is demonstrating its commitment to building a strong and competitive squad, and Kilmarnock FC will undoubtedly be a team to watch in the 2025/26 campaign.
