Northern Ireland international Kyle Lafferty has joined Irish Premiership champions Linfield until the end of the season, the club has confirmed.

Kesh man Lafferty was released on transfer deadline day last week by Scottish Premiership club Kilmarnock and he will now play under former international team-mate, Linfield boss David Healy.

Linfield currently sit third in the battle for the Gibson Cup and Healy will be hoping that Lafferty can help fire them to a fifth Premiership title in a row.
