Lee Johnson: Free agent midfielder in talks with Kilmarnock

Sky Bet

Sky Sports understands that Scottish Premier League side Kilmarnock are in talks with ex-Bristol City midfielder Lee Johnson.

The 30-year-old has been looking for a new club since leaving the Robins by mutual consent on transfer deadline day after falling out of the first-team picture at Ashton Gate.

Johnson spent much of the first half of the campaign with League One Chesterfield, making 11 league starts during a three-month loan.

He had been linked with a return to Yeovil and work under his father Gary last month, a move he felt was 'not right for his career'.

The experienced playmaker has played north of the border before during a six-month spell with Hearts and now looks poised to try his luck in the SPL once more.
