Kilmarnock have signed Coventry striker Donovan Simmonds on loan for the remainder of the year, the Coca-Cola Championship club have confirmed.

The 19-year-old had a trial at Rugby Park over the summer and with the club light on strikers, Jim Jefferies, the manager, has opted to take him on a deal that will run until December 31.

"Donovan is extremely quick and looks a real prospect, so we decided to get him in on loan. He gives me another attacking option," Jefferies said.
