We are only allowed another 2 from the English leagues.....does this mean we will be signing someone on a perm or will Croft signing a new contract count (remember the spin when somebody else extended their contract with NCFC. and that was spun as a new signing!).

As a youth he played for Miramar Rangers, whose coach arranged a trial with Manchester City.[1] The trial was successful, and the 17 year old Killen joined City''s youth academy. His first senior club appearances came during a loan spell at Wrexham in September 2000. He scored his first league goal on 9 September 2000 against Oldham,[2] and in total scored three goals in nine appearances for the Welsh club. The following season he was loaned to Port Vale, scoring six goals in nine league games. In November 2001 he was recalled from loan as a number of Manchester City strikers were injured, and was a substitute in a 2–1 win against Rotherham United.[3] he made two further substitute appearances that season, and finished as top goalscorer for the reserves.[4][edit] Oldham AthleticHe joined Oldham Athletic in July 2002[5] for £250,000. He remained with Oldham for 3 and a half years, scoring 24 goals in 78 league appearances. Failing to match his price tag and seemingly high wage through continuous injury, Oldham no longer required his services and released him on a free transfer.[edit] HibernianIn January 2006, Killen joined Hibernian on a free transfer.[6] He scored on his debut as he netted the third goal in Hibs'' 3–0 defeat of Rangers at Ibrox in the Scottish Cup 4th round in February 2006.[7] His first home goal was the opener in a 7–0 win against Livingston four days later.[8] Despite arriving in January, he had scored five goals for Hibs by the end of the season. He also scored the opening goal of Hibs 5–0 defeat of Latvia''s Dinaburg in the Intertoto Cup second round game at Easter Road on 2 July 2006.[9].Following the departure of strikers Garry O''Connor and Derek Riordan, Killen was expected to be an important player for Hibs in 2006–07. By December 2006 he had scored 11 goals, including two in a 2–1 win over Rangers.[10] A ruptured achilles suffered in a 2–2 draw with Aberdeen in a Scottish Cup tie prematurely ended his season in January. Killen''s contract with Hibernian expired in mid-2007. He rejected the offer of a one-year extension from the Edinburgh club and was expected to sign for Cardiff City before Celtic''s intervention.[11][edit] CelticKillen signed for Celtic on a three year contract in May 2007.[12]. Killen made his debut on 5 August 2007, coming off the bench in a goalless draw against Kilmarnock at Celtic Park. His first goal for the club came on 7 October at Fir Park; with Celtic trailing 1–0 to Gretna, Killen equalised in the 89th minute before Scott McDonald scored the winner for Celtic in stoppage time. He made his UEFA Champions League debut for Celtic at the Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica against S.L. Benfica on 24 October.Since then, however, he has found chances hard to come by after Scott McDonald scored 31 goals in his debut season, and he has also found himself behind Georgios Samaras and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink in selection. Killen now mostly plays in the reserves, but he scored a goal against Southampton in a pre-season friendly in May 2008. On 31 January 2009 Killen joined Championship side Norwich City on loan for the remainder of the 2008–09 season.[13][edit] International careerKillen made his international debut for New Zealand during the 2000 OFC Nations Cup against Tahiti,[14] three months before his first senior appearance at club level. He collected his 20th cap (8 goals) against Brazil on June 4, 2006. Killen was included in the New Zealand U-23 squad for their first appearance at the Olympic Games as one of 3 over age players, alongside Ryan Nelsen and Simon Elliott[15][edit] HonoursOFC Nations Cup (2): 2002, 2008 Scottish Premier League (1): 2007-08 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted January 31, 2009 Seems a bit injury prone and patchy career to date. He scored about 16 for Hibs in 20 odd games which is cause for optimism.Guess he will take half adozen games toget fit though.Better than we have but abit disappointing if that is as good as it gets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
