Kilmarnock sign former Livingston goalkeeper Max Stryjek
Kilmarnock have continued to strengthen the squad for next season with the signing of Polish goalkeeper Max Stryjek. The 28-year-old former Livingston stopper has joined from Jagiellonia Bialystok for an undisclosed fee. Warsaw-born Stryjek had a spell at Sunderland earlier in his career before joining Eastleigh and spent two years with Livingston ahead of a switch back to England with Wycombe. 'It was a bit of work with the clubs, but I am really happy to be joining Kilmarnock and am looking forward to working with the boys and the staff,' Stryjek said on the club's website. 'I was in a spot in Poland where I wasn't really playing. It was a great experience spending a year in a new home, but it was a difficult year for me on a personal note. 'I want to do well, help the team get results and I am really happy that I am joining Kilmarnock.' New Killie manager Stuart Kettlewell has already brought in striker Marcus Dackers, Greg Kiltie, Jack Thomson, Scott Tiffoney and George Stanger. Kettlewell feels Stryjek's previous experience of Scottish football will stand him in good stead for the challenges ahead – with the Polish keeper set to go straight into the squad Rory McKenzie's testimonial match against Ayr at Rugby Park on Friday night. 'Max is one that I have been aware of for a while, especially with him playing in Scotland before, we know his qualities,' Kettlewell said. 'He adds to the already competitive squad and we are sure that he can be a solid addition to our goalkeepers.'

Kilmarnock complete signing of former Livingston goalkeeper
The 28-year-old will provide competition with Robby McCrorie for the starting role Kilmarnock have completed the signing of goalkeeper Max Stryjek from Polish top flight side Jagiellonia Białystok for an undisclosed fee. The 28-year-old has previous experience in the Scottish top flight having spent two seasons at Livingston prior to a move to Wycombe Wanderers. Whilst at Livi, the Polish stopper competed with Robby McCrorie for the starting position - and the pair re-unite in Ayrshire. Both keepers failed to hold down the role on a consistent basis during their sole season together in West Lothian, before Stryjek earned rave reviews the following campaign for a string of fine displays. He played five times for Jagiellona last term, having joined them in the summer from Wycombe. Speaking to the club website after announcing the deal, the keeper said: "It was a bit of work with the clubs but I'm really happy to be joining Kilmarnock and I'm looking forward to working with the boys and the staff. "I was in a spot in Poland where I wasn't really playing. It was a great experience spending a year in a new home but it was a difficult year for me on a personal note. I want to do well, help the team get results and I'm really happy that I'm joining Kilmarnock. I'm looking forward to it." As for his conversations with boss Stuart Kettlewell, he said: "I was actually on holiday when he first called me and I was really impressed by his personality, his ambition and everything. "He seemed like a really good person and I really liked his approach and professionalism. That was probably the main factor in deciding to join Kilmarnock." Kettlewell added: "Max is one that I've been aware of for a while, especially with him playing in Scotland before we know his qualities. He adds to the already competitive squad and we are sure that he can be a solid addition to our goalkeepers. "We look forward to working with Max with the Premier Sports Cup kicking off next week after our two friendlies beforehand, starting with Rory McKenzie's testimonial match against Ayr United tonight."
