The 25-year-old had signed a pre-contract agreement in January
Jack Thomson left Championship team Queen’s Park to sign with Kilmarnock.
The 25-year-old inked a pre-contract agreement with Rugby Park in January and will be joining on a two-year contract.
He’s the second new arrival of the day for Killie, following on from the return of winger Greg Kiltie from St Mirren this morning.
Speaking to the club website, Thomson said: “Im really happy to be here. It’s been a long time coming, I have known about it for quite a while now.
“I signed the pre-contract in January so it’s a long time thinking about things and itching to get going, it’s a while to wait, but now I just can’t wait to start pre-season this week.”
Thomson made 133 appearances for the Spiders since arriving in July 2021 and gets his first taste of Premiership football with his move to East Ayrshire.
He added: “The club’s got a lot of history. The team is always competitive, competing at a really good level. It just felt like a natural step from where I’ve been. I’m just excited to play with really good players at a really good level and see how well I can do.
“My conversations with the manager have been really positive. When I seen he was announced, I was excited. You speak to the people you know in football and try to find out as much as you can and everything that was said about the manager was really positive.
“And then obviously speaking to him, I have the exact same impression. So I can’t wait to get on the pitch and be working with him.”
Manager Stuart Kettlewell added: “Jack is a player that I’ve inherited and I’m delighted that’s the case. He is an ambitious player with great ability and I’m confident that he will fit right into our squad.
“I’ve had positive conversations with Jack and I’m looking forward to getting to work with him and the rest of the players.”
