Scottish Premiership outfit Kilmarnock have signed former Partick Thistle striker Nathan Eccleston on a short-term deal until the end of the season.

The 24-year-old, released by Firhill boss Alan Archibald on Monday, scored twice in 11 games for the club after previous spells at various Football League clubs including Charlton Athletic and Coventry City.

Eccleston had spent this week on trial with the Rugby Park club, appearing in a development match against Hearts at Riccarton on Tuesday.

Kilmarnock currently sit eighth in the Scottish Premiership table.
