2011-12 Season Player News & Quotes:

Apr 4th ...Kilmarnock have handed a new three-year deal to highly-rated young full-back Alex Pursehourse.It was revealed in December that Killie had opened talks with 19-year-old left-back and Pursehourse has now put pen to paper on a three-year deal after impressing hugely this season. Pursehouse joined Kilmarnock in the summer from English side Tranmere. He has now emerged as a regular under Kenny Shiels and has been rewarded for his progress. "We have been talking since December, so Alex is delighted to have finally committed his future to the club,"said his agent.

Oct 21st..."You've got to have inner belief. If you don't believe in yourself no-one else will. I'm knuckling down and working hard and hopefully it will pay off. For a 19-year-old it's a dream. To play at such a high level at this age is a great privilege. It's a great privilege to be playing at Kilmarnock and I'm enjoying it. I'm only young and I'm still learning. I'm working hard in training to improve and hopefully I can take that into games and hopefully I can please the gaffer and keep myself in the team. But I'm young and you're only as good as your last game so I'll see what happens."
On the Celtic 3-3 Draw... "The excitement of the game was unbelievable. It's a dream to play in that kind of game, especially against Celtic. We've shown what we can do against Celtic. If we can take that into the other games we can do well. We have been doing well and working hard and playing good football. Especially against Celtic, we showed what we can do and when we are playing at our best we are capable of anything. We can certainly go on and upset a lot of people."
On Next Opponents Well... "Motherwell have got some very good players and anything can happen in the SPL, it's a great league. Motherwell are doing very well at the minute. It's not going to be an easy game but we have been preparing well and we are looking forward to it. After the Celtic game, we believe we can do it. There are no easy games in the league but we will give it our all. That's all we can do and hopefully we can get the win. I think we deserved the win last week to be fair but a point is a good result against Celtic. We have analysed our mistakes, we've worked on it, and hopefully we can put it right."

Sept 10th ...Alex Pursehouse on his first start (Vs the Pars) on Sept 10th 2011..... "My priority is to make sure I'm solid as a defender but the gaffer encourages his full-backs to push on. That's enjoyable as you get the attacking side as well. It's the best of both worlds."
