Kilmarnock Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of goalkeeper Jan Koprivec on a one-year deal, subject to international clearance.

The 31-year-old brings a wealth of experience to Killie having represented Slovenia as well as club experience in both Italy and Cyprus.

In competition with Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak and Inter Milan’s Samir Handanovic, Jan made his senior international debut in November 2016 against Poland.

Jan started his career with Cagliari before moving to Udinese. It was during a loan spell in 2011/12 with Bari where he played with current Killie assistant coach Massimo Donati.

A spell with Perugia followed before the shot stopper moved to Cyprus, firstly with Anorthosis Famagusta and then Pafos.

Speaking to the club website, Jan said a conversation with Slovenian team-mate Andraz Struna helped convince him of the move.

He said: “The opportunity to join Kilmarnock is a really exciting one and I’ve heard good things about the club and Scottish football.

“I know Massimo from my time in Italy and I can’t wait to get started here.”

If Macdonald isn't happy then he's as well going elsewhere. Hopefully he doesn't put the boot in on the way out the door like Broadfoot and Kiltie. I realise he was coming in from a prolonged period without football but he didn't look good in the European games.

Goalie sounds of a decent standard. Cap for Slovenia. An interesting signing, doesn't sound like the type to come in and want to sit on the bench all season.

Can Jamie Mac move anywhere just now?

 

You need to be released before the window closes to register for another club. I've never been 100% sure if it's the window of the club you're leaving or going to, so maybe if there is a window still open in some country somewhere then he could go there. Certainly couldn't go to the likes of Livingston or something on a free though.

A permanent deal too. Will be interesting to see if AA sticks with Barenscu short term since he’s been fine or he just drops to the bench as he’s a loan.
