Published 5th Jun 2023

Kilmarnock have completed the signing of Inverness defender Robbie Deas.

The 23-year old becomes Derek McInnes' first capture of the summer window.

Deas played his final game for Inverness in Saturday's Scottish Cup final defeat to Celtic at Hampden.

He has now penned a two-year deal with the Rugby Park club as he makes the step up to Premiership football.

His career started with Celtic but he was unable to make a first team appearance for the club.

Inverness came calling in 2020 and the centre-back went on to make over 100 appearances for the Highland outfit.

Deas told the club's official website: “I fully understand the size of this club and the demands that will be placed on me as a player, so I’m excited about taking this step in my career.

“It was inspiring to speak with the manager about his ambitions for the club and it became clear that Kilmarnock would be a perfect fit for me.

"I’m determined to kick on and do my best for the manager and supporters over the next two years.”
