Taouil first signed for Kilmarnock in October

Moroccan midfielder Mehdi Taouil has signed a new three-year contract with Jim Jefferies' Kilmarnock.

The 25-year-old joined the Scottish Premier League outfit on a three-month deal in October, having previously been with French club Montpellier.

He impressed manager Jefferies sufficiently to win a contract extension until the summer.

Now, despite interest from other clubs in the SPL, Taouil has committed himself to a long-term deal.
