C4mmy31 Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Killie’s most talented youngsters have agreed new contracts to remain at Rugby Park. Tomas Brindley, Kyle Connell and Curtis Lyle have joined Steven Warnock in putting pen to paper on fresh terms ahead of the 2021/22 season. Tomas made his first team debut against Rangers in August before enjoying a fruitful loan spell with Dumbarton, helping the Sons to retain their League One status. Kyle Connell was handed his first team debut in a 6-0 Scottish Cup win over Queen’s Park in January 2020, making an impression with a lively cameo. The forward made a great impact at Airdrieonians, scoring six goals in 27 matches as the Diamonds reached the Championship play-off final. Goalkeeper Curtis Lyle has enjoyed involvement with the first team, making the bench on six occasions over the past two seasons. They join creative midfielder Warnock, who extended his Killie stay until 2023 last week following first team appearances in both the League Cup and Scottish Cup. Euan Deveney is also set to remain in Ayrshire for the new campaign following last season’s loan spell with League One Falkirk. Contracted Youngsters Tomas Brindley, Harry Broun, Kyle Connell, Fergus Dee, Justin Devenny, Curtis Lyle, Michael Mullen, Kenny Sloan, Ross Smith, Steven Warnock Edited June 16, 2021 by C4mmy31 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souleycouley93 Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Lyle will be coming up 22 in 3 months time. It’s certainly harder to get in an 11 as a young goalkeeper but you’d think this will be his last chance to break into team. Good luck to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangodog Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Let's hope they get some first team game time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Good to see us tying them down for longer and them buying into what the club are selling. Opportunities have been scarce for youngsters for a long time at Killie but hopefully that is changing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonPanikvar Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 For arguments sake, If Connell wasn’t a killie youth player I think he should be exactly the type of player we should be looking to sign. Young goal scoring midfielder in league 1 looking to make the step up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Positive news, onus now is to see them during the next year make next step up and become part of the first team match day squad on a consistent basis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky monkey Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Pleased with this. It's the way ahead. Be delighted to see any or all of these guys stepping up into the first team. Edited June 16, 2021 by funky monkey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 I think Connell and Brindley, along with obviously Cameron will be playing a lot of football here next season. Cameron has shown he can score consistently at this level, the other two have done well in League One and deserve the opportunity a league above. We were missing young legs massively last season, hopefully they're good enough and give us the bit of energy we've been missing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killiepies Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 How long are there contracts for.If it’s for a year it’s hardly showing much faith unless there are options.Decent young prospects should be getting at least 2 year deals with 1 year options 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's your opinion which you are perfectly entitled to BUT how would you feel if you were a youngster, learning your job and doing it to the best of your abilities and someone slagged YOU off with negative comments on a website ? Maybe think before you post ? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
