Teenager Mark O'Hara has signed a two-year extension with Kilmarnock.

O'Hara, who made his debut in 2012 at the age of 16 and can play in either midfield or defence, started 14 times for Killie this season.

The 19-year-old told the club's website: "I am delighted to have signed on again for the club.

"My goal for 2015/16 is to firmly establish myself in the first team with the hope of helping the club achieve a top-six spot".

Manager Gary Locke added: "I am really pleased to be keeping our best young talent at the club, it was a coup for us to keep him.

"He is only 19 and has a big future ahead of him. I'm sure he will kick-on and do very well next season."
