Goal king Killen has Scotland at his feet

Trevor Baxter

A FORMER City reserve is topping the goal charts in the Scottish Premier League.

And if Stuart Pearce ever loses patience with Bernardo Corradi or Georgios Samaras, he may find a replacement at Hibernian.

Chris Killen made three substitute appearances for the Blues in their Championship days and also had a chequered three-and-a-half-year career at Oldham. But the Scottish air has certainly revived the fortunes of the 26-year-old New Zealander.

"Next time you speak to Stuart tell him to give me a call," quipped Killen who still follows City's fortunes from north of the border.

"My contract is up at the end of the season and I would have no hesitation in staying. But at the same time I want to further my career and, if a bigger club came in for me, I'd have to consider it."

Killen has scored eight times this season, one more than the whole of City's Premiership total.

And that total could have been even higher but for a poor disciplinary record. He's certainly got the aggression Pearce so much enjoys in his players as two red cards and four yellows would testify to.

His career upturn will certainly have surprised a few at Carrington and Oldham.

"Things were going stale at Oldham and it was probably the right time to move on," he said.

"There had been some interest from Hibs before so I decided to give it a go.

"A lot of people write off the league up here because they only think about Celtic and Rangers.

"And before I joined Hibs I never realised how intense the Edinburgh derby games were. They're certainly a bit different than Oldham against Stockport or Bury.

"But they're great games to be involved in and I'm really enjoying my football again.

"There's a great set-up here, just like a Premiership club and, after the problems at Oldham, it's a refreshing change."

Says some good things about Hibs too

I think Chris Killen should be named "the yo-yo" or something similiar amongst some of the Hibs support because one week he goes from being hero to zero the next again week. There is nothing there that no other player has not said when approached by journalist's, if a bigger club comes in for him he would welcome the approach which like mentioned in the post above should be construed as having ambition. It also says in that interview he would be happy to stay at Hibs but let's not mention that.

Here's what Killen said in January this year when he signed :

Killen has signed a contract that ties him to Easter Road until the end of next season. "I know this is a big club - a lot bigger than Oldham," he said. "Hibs want to go places and I want to be involved."

His contract is up at the end of this season, along with one or two others such as Michael Stewart.

I like Killen. He is the joint top goalscorer in the SPL at the moment, and despite his volatile nature and tendancy to get injured, he has been a very good signing for us IMO. I would like to see both him and Stewart extend their stay at the Holy Ground. Collins needs to build his team around players like Killen and Stewart.

aye, get rid and buy a real pro like Barry Ferguson eh?

HibeePaddy · 04-11-06, 12:55

We want players who have ambition and want to play in the Premiership...they are much better than players who want to play for the ugly sisters in the west.

Players who lack ambition are people like Barry Ferguson and look how bad he is

Have to say I've no problem with that. It's no like he grew up supporting Hibs from Auckland or somewhere, it's his job, and he wants to do as well as he possibly can.

bampot1 · 04-11-06, 13:10

i like killen as well.

no harm in him showing ambition!

just wish he wasnt so prone to getting sent off lololol

I've no problem with that at all but I do hate the fact folk keep saying it in the press. Theres nae need to just shove it down our throats that they are looking to move at some point. Focus on the club your at at the moment and feck the rest untill that time comes. Wasnt so long ago he was getting slated by a lot of people now he's doing well and already he's making little hints about leaving.

Just annoys me when folk say things like that. It annoyed me everytime Mogga kept saying all these things and it annoys me when the players do aswell.

Thats two pieces of shite that have emerged from your posts in the last three days. First praising Barry Ferguson then telling Killen he should GTF cos he wants to play in the premiership!

Are you surprised like? You didnt think he would want to play in the best league in the world?

Get a grip mate.

Never realised his contract was up at the end of the season. Give him a new contract now as well as Mikey Stewart. As posted above, these are big players and players who we can build a team round.

**SkyeHibs** · 04-11-06, 19:57

Hibs know his contract is up and know he can talk to other clubs come January. It is in our interest just as it is with Stewart for the club to sit down with both players and see if something can be sorted out.

Can you explain that? Do you mean you were patient when he sustained a bone-deep foot injury? Other than that he has been delivering the goods any time he's been on the field so what's your problem?
