Killie sign 'integral' Tshibola after World Cup stint

Kilmarnock midfielder Aaron Tshibola has vowed to "pick up where I left off" after returning "home" by signing a new one-year contract with the Scottish Premiership club.

The former Aston Villa 31-year-old, who was part of DR Congo's World Cup squad this summer, spent the second half of last season with Neil McCann's side.

After playing a key role as they avoided relegation with a fine run at the end of the season, Tshibola has effectively started a fourth spell at Rugby Park, having first joined in 2018 under Steve Clarke.

"I've been around the world, but only one place truly feels like home," the central midfielder said in his unveiling video.

"I hear you singing my name from the back of the stands.

"It's an exciting new era for the club, new pitch, new training ground, new ambitions - and I'm buzzing to be a part of it."

The club added: "He was integral to the way Neil McCann's side finished the campaign strongly, securing the club's top-flight status in style."
