Defender Conrad Balatoni signs new Kilmarnock deal

Kilmarnock defender Conrad Balatoni agrees a new contract that runs until the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

Kilmarnock have announced that defender Conrad Balatoni has signed a new contract with the Scottish Premiership club.

The 24-year-old joined Killie in September from Partick Thistle on an initial short-term deal.

However, having made eight starts for Gary Locke's men since then, Balatoni has now been handed an extension until the summer of 2018.

"I'm delighted that Conrad has committed to a long-term contract with the club. He's done really well since joining so it was important that we get him secured for the future," Locke told the club's official website.

Leeds-born Balatoni started his career with Hearts, although he never made a senior appearance for the Tynecastle-based outfit.
