Kilmarnock Football Club is delighted to announce three new signings.

We welcome back Ben Gordon, on loan from Chelsea until the end of the season. Ben (born 2 March 1991) has been with Chelsea since 2007. He generally plays at left back and was previously on loan to Kilmarnock in the early part of season 2010-11.

Dean Shiels has negotiated his release by Doncaster Rovers and has signed for Kilmarnock until the end of the season, in spite of strong interest from other clubs. He has already made twenty-three appearances and scored six goals for Kilmarnock this season.

We have also signed centre-half Michael Nelson on a thirty month contract. Michael's previous clubs include Scunthorpe United and Norwich City. Michael (born 28 March 1980) is from Gateshead.

Everyone at the Club extends a warm welcome to Michael, Ben and Dean and wishes them every success during their time at Rugby Park.
