Seven players were released by Kilmarnock following the end of their contracts during the summer including Blair Alston, Lee Hodson, Dylan McGowan, Alan Power, Scott Robinson, Chris Stokes and Calum Waters. Three players – Innes Cameron, Brad Lyons and Fraser Murray – signed new contracts while Ryan Alebiosu, Luke Chambers, Ben Chrisene, Christian Doidge, Jeriel Dorsett, Zach Hemming, Jordan Jones and Lewis Mayo returned to their parent clubs following the completion of their loan deals.[1][2]
