Kilmarnock have bolstered their squad with the signing of German full-back Jonathan Meier before the Scottish Premiership season opener.

Meier, 26, moves to Rugby Park on a two-year deal after leaving SSV Ulm following their relegation from Germany's third tier.

A former Bayern Munich youth player, Meier also has first-team experience at Dynamo Dresden and Hansa Rostock in his homeland's lower leagues.

He is Killie's seventh new recruit before the league curtain-raiser at St Johnstone on Sunday.
