Kilmarnock have snapped up Stoke City midfielder Mark Waddington on a six-month loan.

The 19-year-old will be in the Scottish Premier League until January 4 as he looks to catch the eye of Stoke's first team boss Mark Hughes, says The Sentinel.

The teenager joined the Potters last summer with Blackpool teammate Dom Telford and both impressed in Glyn Hodges's under-21s side.

Waddington wrote on Twitter: "Pleased to have signed on loan @OfficialKillie. Looking forward to playing in the Scottish Premiership. Can't wait to get started."
