Former Airdrie and Livingston star joins East Kilbride

Former Airdrie and Livingston star Liam Watt has signed with Chris Aitken's East Kilbride side on a permanent basis.

The 28-year-old was most recently with League One club East Fife but now moves to bolster EK manager Aitken's ranks.

He has been keen to add fresh faces to his squad following the departures of key men like Chris Erskine, Blair Malcolm and Gregg Wylde.

Kilby are next in action this Saturday when they take on Lanarkshire rivals Cumbernauld Colts in the South Challenge Cup.

Watt started his career at Airdrie and made two appearances shy of 100, scoring 12 goals with 13 assists. He moved to Livingston in 2016 before heading for Brechin City a year later.

He's been with East Fife since 2018 and has accumulated 118 outings at Bayview, including 25 this term. He can play as a winger or as an attacking midfielder.
