Former Newcastle United youngster Jamie Cobain has joined Scottish Premiership side Kilmarnock.
The 19-year-old full-back was released by United at the start of June, just under a month after playing his final game for the Club when he captained Peter Beardsley's Magpies second string in the Barclays Under-21 Premier League clash with Brighton and Hove Albion at St. James' Park.
Cobain - who had been with Newcastle from the age of ten - became a regular in the Club's under-18 team after making his bow at that level against Blackburn Rovers in March 2013.
And it was confirmed on Friday that the teenager had linked up with another former Magpie, Kilmarnock boss Lee Clark, at Rugby Park ahead of the new campaign.
