Ivory Coast striker Aime Koudou has signed a short-term deal with Bank of Scotland Premier League side Kilmarnock.

The forward left Airdrie recently, having declined the chance to extend his three-month spell with the First Division side.

The 29-year-old has moved to Kilmarnock until the end of the season.

Koudou, formerly with Oviedo, Limmassol, Sochaux and Neuchatel Xamax played just five times for Airdrie United.

But he sprung to prominence against Motherwell in the Scottish Cup, tormenting the Scottish Premier League side's defence after coming on as a late substitute.

And he followed that up with two goals against St Johnstone in Division One.

Jim Jefferies on Signing Koudou...."He looks like the kind of player who can do something different, It was not a huge lay-out for us, So it's not a massive gamble. We'll see how he progresses."

Update: Aime scored his first goal for Killie on Oct 6th 2007, Vs Calley at home in the SPL.

Update: Aime was released Feb 13th 2008, and moved quickly to Northern Ireland, to Portadown.
