Kilmarnock Running The Rule Over Physical Nigerian Striker

Scottish Premiership side Kilmarnock have started running the rule over free agent Hakeem Araba.

The physical striker featured in a test game for Kilmarnock on Tuesday and scored the only goal in their 1-0 victory over Hearts at Rugby Park.

Araba is searching for a new team after he ran out of contract with Falkenbergs FF, where he spent two years.

The former Peterborough United man tried his luck with Finnish Veikkausliiga champions IFK Mariehamn in November but nothing came out of it.

The 25-year-old Araba has defended the colours of Boston United, Dagenham & Redbridge, Thurrock, Billericay Town and Whitehawk in England.
