Killie snap up Gordon

Kilmarnock have confirmed the signing of Chelsea reserve team defender Ben Gordon on a short-term loan deal. Gordon, 19, is manager Mixu Paatelainen's second signing since he took over at Rugby Park in the summer, having snapped up Portuguese winger David Silva on a two-year deal. "Kilmarnock Football Club is delighted to announce that Chelsea reserve team player Ben Gordon has signed a short-term loan with the club," said a statement released by the Ayrshire club. "Ben is an England U17 international [and] has been under contract with Chelsea since 2007. "Everyone at the club extends a warm welcome to Ben and wishes him every success during his time at Rugby Park."
