Town defender Corrie Ndaba is close to joining Scottish Premiership Kilmarnock on a permanent basis following last season’s successful loan spell.

The 24-year-old made 27 starts and 10 sub appearances during 2023/24, scoring once, and was involved in a number of memorable Killie performances, including victories over both Celtic, in the Scottish League Cup, and Rangers in the league.

According to the Daily Record, Killie are close to agreeing a six-figure deal for Ndaba, who operated largely at left-back for them last season.

Academy product Ndaba joined Town’s academy at 16 and has spent much of his time with the Blues out on loan having had spells with Hemel Hempstead Town, Chelmsford City, Ayr United, Salford City, Burton Albion and Fleetwood Town prior to last year’s stint at Rugby Park.

For Town, Ndaba, whose contract is up next season with the club having an option for a further year, four starts and one sub appearance, all in cup competitions.

Mediocre_Quick added 13:23 - Jun 28 Shame he never got the chances to impress here, but I guess from a FFP stand point it's a pure profit sale so helps, slightly with any deals we want to do moving forward

brian_a_mul added 13:39 - Jun 28 Really good player and based on his performances last season for Killie he is one of the best defenders in Scotland. Im sure it is not the last we will hear about Ndaba. Best of luck in Killie!

IndependentlyBlue added 14:07 - Jun 28 Good for you Corrie. Thought he would have made it here at one time. Certainly put the time in out on loan. Seven loans is quite something. Hope he does well at Killie

BuckieBlue added 15:11 - Jun 28 All the best to him. Got a a good manager there-Derek McInnes- who I'm sure will continue to get the best out of him. So maybe a bigger club down in England one day?
