Scottish Premiership side Kilmarnock have announced the appointment of Kirsten Callaghan as the club's new Chief Executive.

Kirsten, who was club secretary for eight years, will join Kilmarnock full-time in July.

Her appointment comes just over a week after former chairman Michael Johnston stood down as a director after 15 years on the Board.

In a statement on the official website, Director Billy Bowie said: "Kirsten has a wealth of experience in running a Premier League club.

"Kirsten, who previously held a senior position with Woodward, will play an integral part in developing the club, working with the current team to achieve business objectives."

Callaghan is a Kilmarnock season ticket holder who is a BA Hons graduate in strategic management and HR management and is currently studying for her masters in HR management.

Kirsten becomes the second female Chief Executive in the Premiership alongside Hearts owner and chairwoman Ann Budge.

They will be joined next season by former Motherwell CEO Leeann Dempster, who is currently with Championship winners Hibernian.
