Greg Kiltie Leaves St Mirren to Join Kilmarnock in Undisclosed Deal
St Mirren Football Club has confirmed that midfielder Greg Kiltie has joined Kilmarnock FC in an undisclosed agreement, according to a statement released by the club earlier today. The 28-year-old leaves St Mirren after four years in Paisley, having initially signed from Kilmarnock in June 2021.
During his tenure at St Mirren, Kiltie made 142 appearances for the Buddies, scoring 11 goals and playing a pivotal role in the team’s three consecutive top six finishes in the William Hill Premiership. As reported by St Mirren’s official website, despite being under contract until 2027, an opportunity presented itself for Kiltie to secure more frequent first-team football, and the club has allowed the forward to move on.
According to Stephen Robinson, St Mirren’s manager, Kiltie has been an integral part of the team’s success over the past three years. "He’s a great boy and a very talented player, but Greg felt he wanted guaranteed first-team football and he had an opportunity at Kilmarnock and we wouldn’t stand in his way," Robinson said, as quoted by St Mirren’s official website. "With his lack of game time last season, we felt it was fair to Greg for his service and his dedication."
The move is seen as a significant transfer for Kilmarnock, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. Kiltie’s experience and talent are expected to be a valuable addition to the team. As St Mirren’s official website reported, everyone at St Mirren thanks Kiltie for all of his contributions to the club and wishes him the very best of luck in his future career.
Kiltie’s departure from St Mirren marks the end of an era for the midfielder, who has been an important player for the team over the past four years. His move to Kilmarnock is expected to have a significant impact on both teams, with St Mirren looking to rebuild their squad and Kilmarnock seeking to strengthen their team ahead of the new season.
In a statement, St Mirren’s management team expressed their gratitude to Kiltie for his service to the club, saying that he will always be remembered for his contributions to the team’s success. The club is expected to focus on rebuilding their squad ahead of the new season, with a number of transfers expected in the coming weeks. As St Mirren’s official website reported, the club has confirmed that they will be looking to bring in new players to strengthen their squad.
The transfer is subject to a medical and the completion of formalities, but it is understood that Kiltie will join Kilmarnock on a permanent deal. The terms of the agreement have not been disclosed, but it is believed that the deal is a significant one for both clubs.
