Kouider-aissa can’t wait for a taste of the Premiership

Livingston have signed Salim Kouider-aissa on a two-year-deal with the option of a third.

The 24-year-old striker has joined from Queen’s Park where he scored 17 times in 36 appearances last season.

Kouider-aissa, pictured, who had been on trial, told the club’s official Twitter account that he is delighted with the prospect of Premiership football.

He said: “Obviously I’ve been in for a couple of weeks now training with the boys and I have found it brilliant.i have enjoyed every minute of it. I am just happy to finally sign.

“They are playing in the Premiership, it’s a big opportunity that you can’t give up, to be given the opportunity to come and play, hopefully break into the team and see what I can do.”

The former Stirling Albion, Queen of the South and Stenhousemuir player joined Queen’s Park last summer from junior side Kilsyth Rangers.

Manager Gary Holt has also brought in Alan Forrest, Jack Fitzwater, Matej Poplatnik and Robby Mccrorie ahead of the new season, which starts on 1 August.

Steven Lawless, who was out of contract at Livingston, has signed a one-year deal with Burton.

The 29-year-old scored 11 goals in 38 appearances for Holt’s side last season.

Lawless told the Brewers’ official website: “The manager [Jake Buxton] was very honest and didn’t want to hide anything from me, which was a really big factor in me joining.

“He seems like a great guy and I am really looking forward to working with him.”

Delighted manager Buxton said: “We were successful in the Scottish market during the previous regime and we acted instantly to get a deal done when we heard about Steven’s availability.

“He was one of my top summer targets and I’m hoping that we can three of four more soon!”
