Dundee United have signed striker Rory Boulding until the end of the season on a free transfer.

The 24-year-old penned a three-year deal with Kilmarnock over the summer, but his contract was terminated in January.

"He has shown me he can offer us something with his energetic and busy style so I am delighted to have him sign a contract," Dundee boss Jackie McNamara told the club's official website.

"He is fit enough to be considered for action immediately and I think he is someone the United fans will quickly grow to enjoy."

Boulding made four appearances for Kilmarnock before his premature departure from Rugby Park.
