The 32-year-old has been without a club since leaving Nottingham Forest in the summer and returned north of the border to train with Kilmarnock.

Killie boss Lee Clark insisted from the outset that his side couldn’t afford to sign the midfielder, who previously played under Clark at Birmimgham, but was happy for Burke to train with the Ayrshire side while he sought a new home.
